Hi all,
Piggy backing off of this, I have been having the same trouble. I
noticed that the default RH install has a "modules.dep" in the
/lib/modules/2.0.xx directory and upon boot the system looks for it.
When I build a custom kernel the file is not made. What is going on?
Also:

What is the recommended way?
thanks
