When you installed the current kernel, did you do make modules_install
???

baud /bawd/ n.

 [simplified from its technical meaning]
   n. Bits per second.  Hence kilobaud or Kbaud, thousands of bits per
   second.  The technical meaning is `level transitions per
   second'; this coincides with bps only for two-level modulation with
   no framing or stop bits.  Most hackers are aware of these nuances
   but blithely ignore them.

Historical note: `baud' was originally a unit of telegraph
   signalling speed, set at one pulse per second.  It was proposed at
   the November, 1926 conference of the Comiteacute; Consultatif
   International Des Communications Teacute;leacute;graphiques as an
   improvement on the then standard practice of referring to line
   speeds in terms of words per minute, and named for Jean Maurice
   Emile Baudot (1845-1903), a French engineer who did a lot
   of pioneering work in early teleprinters.

#2) Can you create it?

depmod -a
slocate modules.dep

Good luck,

 I uess thats bad huh ?

Very bad, but my command was inaccurate according to this email.
Please try once more:

depmod -a

and then do 

ls /lib/modules/2.6.11-gentoo-r3. slocate wouldn't have worked unless
you did another updatedb. ls will always work

One more command you should post back is just 

ls -la /lib/modules


I think that you missed a step when you built your kernel

1) make menuconfig

to set up the kernel and create .config

2) make

to build the kernel

3) make modules_install

to install the modules. This creates the directory
/lib/modules/2.6.11-gentoo-r3 for this kernel. I think you did not do
this step or the directory would be there.

4) mount boot;cp arch/i386/boot/bzImage /boot/XXX; vi grub.conf/etc.

There is one other possibilitiy. Please do 

ls -al /usr/src

If you linux link is set incorrectly I don't know what happens in this case.

This problem should be very easy to figure out and fix.

Cheers,
Mark

at what point do you get the error?

are you running the modules initscript? if you have no modules it might
give you problems.
