I must be doing something rather wrong!

I have installed the new kernel, but none of the modules (like really none..) are loading..
when I did make modules it seemed to be doing everything, until the end where it said 'nothing to be done for modules..' or similar

when I lsmod I get an empty list!

any thoughts?

Cheers,

Ben
