If your going to recompile the kernel you're going to recompile the
modules also (at least you better do so if you don't like unresolved
symbol messages at bootup) . all you need is the kernel-headers and the
kernel-sources. Then
cd /usr/src/linux
make config .....
make dep
(make clean)
make boot (or make zImage or whatever)
have a coffee
make modules
make modules_install
If you compile the 2.0.34 a second time ( I usually do it at least twice
because I always forget somthing like compiling in scsi suport or iso9660
support)
either rm /lib/modules/2.0.34/*
or
mv /lib/modules/2.0.34 /lib/modules/2.0.34-old
have fun,
Clemens
