Chances are there's a modules.conf or something which loaded these 
from the default kernel, and it's still trying...

>make modules_install

but you probably just blew them away with this step here.
(of course, I could be wrong :)

>make install

I recommend not doing the make install, rather, manually copying
arch/<arch>/boot/bzImage to /boot/vmlinuz-whatever and editing the 
lilo.conf to add a new kernel.  Then run lilo to recognize this new 
kernel and boot from it.

That way you don't lose your old kernel.

	It may look like I'm just sitting here doing nothing,
   but I'm really actively waiting for all my problems to go away.
