2.4.19 custom boot-floppies



Hello
 
Having successfully compiled a custom 2.4.19 kernel for ide raid support (and stripping out all modules etc), I created a set of boot-floppies from the bf2.4 set.
 
On mounting rescue.bin, I dropped the new kernel in, ran rdev.sh etc, edited install.sh, making VERSION=2.4.19 .
 
Installation runs perfectly, and correctly creates vmlinux-2.4.19 etc under /boot, but when the system reboots, I receive a "can't open /lib/modules/2.4.19/modules.dep" error.
 
The reason is simple - the 2.4.19 folder doesn't exist. Instead, I have a 2.4.18-bf2.4 folder.
 
It seems that perhaps I've missed changing a VERSION variable somewhere, to instruct the installer to automatically create a correct 2.4.19 folder under /lib/modules/ , rather than the default 2.4.18-bf2.4.
 
Am I trying to do something (i.e. use a later kernel) that the boot-floppies can't / weren't intended to do?
 
Regards, David
