Quick (actually rather long) Question on Modules in Devel. Kernels

First off, I'm pretty new to this mailing list. I basically joined so I
could get up-to-date info on the kernels being developed, problems
they're having, etc. Needless to say, I think I came to the right place.

Here's what my problem is:

I've been able to sucessfully install all kernels previosly (stable 2.0
kernels, that is) - modules, kernel, and all. With these new kernels, I
continuosly get interesting errors when booting. Everything built INTO
the kernel works like a charm, or so it seems....

here's a clip of some errors I get upon boot:

[..]
Updating module dependencies for Linux 2.1.96:

The intersting point of notice is the "kernel_version needed, but can't be
found" message. Those come up in certain other places also, and have me
scratching.

When I install the kernel, I usually do:

make menuconfig ; make dep ; make clean ; make bzImage ; make modules ;
make modules_install

Am I doing somethign incorrectly?
