I assume in the compilation of the kernel you did basically the following
steps,
make config
make dep
make clean
make zImage or make zlilo
followed by
make modules
make modules_install
/sbin/depmod -a
You must make sure and complete the process by recompiling and installing
the modules. The depmod command at the end creates the dependencies file
at /lib/modules/Kernel_Version/modules.dep
The depmod should be run automatically by one of the startup scripts.
But nice to do it by hand....
A better explanation of this is given in the file
/usr/src/kernel-source-2.0.27/Documentation/modules.txt
