Module problems after kernel compilation

Once I recompile my kernel,

cd /usr/src/linux
make menuconfig
make dep && make clean bzImage modules modules_install
mv /boot/bzImage /boot/bzImage.orig
cp /usr/src/linux/arch/i386/boot/bzImage /boot

( The Errors

Failed to calculate module dependencies.....
failed to load post-install........(audigy driver)
vmware is installed, but not configured properly

appear during boot. )

Sound , module dependency calculation and vmware were running perfectly previous to compiling the kernel.

running emerge errors out with the inablity to locate the kernel version and asks if /usr/src/linux is installed.

what did I do wrong? I was initially trying to add DMA support, which I did, but also noticed that my scsi emulation options and sound options were different since the first time I compiled my gentoo kernel. So I added all those options again...was there a command I was missing during or before compilation?

Thanks for any hep provided.

you have to remake your sound,vmware etc for the new kernel. emerge them again and all should be ok.

Hey thanks magoo.

I had compiled the kernel without devfs support.

Once I added devfs, recompiled, emerge was working again.

I emerged the audigy driver and Vmware, ran the vmware-config.pl and reboot my system

Everything loaded properly. Currently listening to The Cramps and vmware is installing a copy of Office.

Life is good.

Thank again.
