Crosscompilation and modules

[Mathiasdm]

I'm trying to cross-compile the Linux kernel for an ARM9-device (the kernel config file is sam9_l9260_defconfig), but I can't seem to compile modules.

I keep getting

The present kernel configuration has modules disabled. Type 'make config' and enable loadable module support. Then build a kernel with module support enabled.

So, I do make config and select yes for every option in 'Enable loadable module support', and I still get the above error.

The steps I do are:
1. If with the default config:

make ARCH=arm CROSS_COMPILE=arm-unknown-linux-gnu- sam9_l9260_defconfig
make ARCH=arm CROSS_COMPILE=arm-unknown-linux-gnu- uImage

2. Own config:

make config ARCH=arm CROSS_COMPILE=arm-unknown-linux-gnu-
make ARCH=arm CROSS_COMPILE=arm-unknown-linux-gnu- uImage

What should I do to be able to compile modules?

Edit: extra information: I'm using 2.6.23 with the patches from AT91 Linux 2.6 Patches

Is Toolchain for ARM installed on your PC ?
to know this type

#arm- <TAB>

you can crosscompile modules or kernel when u have toolchain installed on PC.
