Hmm...I'm losing the plot now, but I have the impression that if after
making the modules and installing the modules, you don't actually load
them one by one with modconf or by hand with modprobe, you will never get
anything from your lsmod. After you got your kernel and you're modules
ready, just reboot and then load the new modules.
However, if when you make the modules and install them, you don't get
a /lib/modules/2.(...) directory with all your modules in there, I guess
you're doing something wrong in your config file.
	good luck
