Hmmm.... boot with the debug switch.  There is a bootarg also that you
need to use so it knows to use compact, I am pretty sure.

Is this a bug report? 

It's not necessarily the case that the modules should be
/lib/modules/2.2.15-compact/.  That string, '2.2.15' or
'2.2.15-compact' is based on what 'uname -r' output is.

I don't think this is actually broken in the boot-floppies, is it?
