Hi, Eddie,
I've had this problem before. You need to add a step in your sequence
below.

depmod -a version-number
Substitute version-number with the directory where your modules are
installed. In your case, this directory should be
/lib/modules/2.2.5-15, so you would do 'depmod -a 2.2.5-15' after 'make
modules_install'. When you do the depmod command, you might get some
unresolved dependencies messages. I'm not sure what these messages
mean. But I was at least able to boot the new kernel after running
depmod. Good luck,
