Better still, try this. Delete each of the subdirs (net, fs, etc.) under
/lib/modules/<version>, cd to /usr/src/linux and run make modules_install to
reinstall the new modules. This will insure that you have all the modules,
and only the modules available which go with the current kernel. After the
modules from the current build have been reinstalled, run depmod -a to
rebuild modules.dep. This will make your current set of modules installable
without rebooting.
