recompiled kernel, messed everything up

Maybe this is just too obvious and I'm too tired.. I searched through the forums and didn't see anything. I recompiled my kernel in order to make sure I had scsi emulation this time.

(cd /usr/src/linux
make mrproper
make menuconfig
make dep && make clean bzImage modules modules_install
cp /usr/src/linux/arch/i386/boot/bzImage /boot

Now, NVdriver still works fine, but I can't get 8139too or the sound drivers to work anymore. It says it can't find them. Is this common with recompiling kernels? How do I get everything back?

Sorry if I'm asking an obvious question.

I redid my Kernel as well, now my NVdriver can't be found or something...
Modprobe doesn't find it, re-emerging the kernel doesn't help, all is ok in modules.autoload, and it does say nvidia in /etc/modules.d/

Could someone help me out as well, so I won't need to open a different topic, and I can't really find the answer in the forum as well :cry:

Have you tried either re-emerging the nvidia drivers or recompiling/installing the driver set from Nvidia's website?

Every time I've recompiled my kernel and rebooted, I get similar modprobe errors, but recompiling and installing the Nvidia drivers corrects it.

I must have overlooked this in the original post and I apologize, but you're trying to get the 8139 (NIC) and your sound card modules to load again, correct?

I am going to guess that you have an Nforce-based motherboard. When you recompiled your kernel, did you select the 8139too module and the i810 audio module?

Or did you possibly compile them into the kernel itself? If this is the case, the modules would not load.

You just mixed 2 things up, I just used this topic for my problem, the topicstarter has a total different problem....

I think I'll open-up my own topic then, sorry topicstarter...

a make clean will delete your modules, so you'll have to reinstall it. And the 8139too should work fine if it worked before, though you could probably forget about it as a module and run it in the kernel instead.
