Why is it failing on /lib/modules/2.4.22 when you're installing 2.4.28 ??

- -Cos


That's a good question. I downloaded the source and created the symbolic link to the linux -> linux-2.4.28-gentoo-r8. After that I'v been executing the commands make menuconfig; make dep; make clean; make bzImage; make modules; make modules_install; in that order. I read that I had to duplicate the /lib/modules/ since it's the same version number. Besides that, what would make it use the old modules directory and not the more recent version? Environment variable or hard-coded value somewhere in the config file?
