kernel 2.2.18 help please

[Geoff Shang]

Hi:

The modules file is not system-generated.  If you blow it away, you'll have
to rebuild it from scratch.  The reason why this is is that you need to
instruct the system which modules are to be loaded and what, if any,
parameters to pass to them.

However, you did mention something in your message that caught my
attention.  make dep is one of the earlier parts of the kernel process and,
I think, would need to be run before make modules and make modules_install.

Geoff.
