2.6.9 - no modules folder is created

After installing the 2.6.9-gentoo-r1 kernel (make menuconfig, make bzimage, make modules, make install) and rebooting my computer, modprobe doesn't work because it can't find a modules folder for the latest kernel. Not good.
The folder /lib/modules only contains 2.6.8-gentoo-r2. Modprobe is looking for 2.6.9-gentoo-r1. What gives?

I'd appreciate any help.

Regards,
Edward S. Rice

You've made a mistake, and missed a bit.
The 2.6 kernel series don't use the make bzImage stuff anymore.
Just use make.
And you will need to do make modules_install to actually, well, install the modules.
