rebuilding kernel

[Thomas Ward]

Dave what is to be confused? Typically, when updating the kernel and kernel
modules I don't have to edit the /etc/modules.conf.
The reason is that the modprobe line probes for the module that matches the
kernel.
Merely build the new modules and install them, and they should work on
restart.
