2.6.37-rc3-git installed modules zero bytes long

[Sid Boyce]

openSUSE 11.3 on one box and openSUSE 11.4 Milestone 4 on the other.
I have a message that says the built modules not found. When I check 
e.g /lib/modules/2.7.37-rc3-git7-smp, most modules are zero bytes long.
I have to "make modules_install" and use modprobe on each.
To get the network up on the 11.3 box "modprobe r6189" then "rcnetwork 
restart", "modprobe rtl8187", "/etc/init.d/network-remotefs start", 
etc., etc.
Then ifconfig is OK for those devices.
