kernel modules folder

I want my new install to use /lib/modules/x.x.x.x and not /lib/modules/x.x.x.x-default.

Because my current modules folder is not x.x.x.x-default but x.x.x.x.

Ok,

which kernel version you compiled ? 2.6 or 2.4

If you using 2.4 you had to type
make modules
and
make modules_install
while compiling new kernel.

For 2.6 just
make
and
make install

And which steps did you go trough while compiling
new kernel, because if did right, then new kernel should
be automatically connected to its modules.

/lib/modules/kernel-version/ directory stores all modules
for specific kernel version, so look do you have that directory
for kernel version you are currently using, and than we
can see what to do next,

regards
