kernel upgrade; modules not loading



This is my first time doing a kernel upgrade The Debian 
Way(tm).

I am running sid on a Celeron system and am trying to 
upgrade from a 2.2.18 kernel to a 2.4.17.

I downloaded the 2.4.17 tarball from kernel.org, and did 
the following:

make clean
make xconfig
make-kpkg kernel_image
cd ..
dpkg -i linux-2.4.17(plus extensions).deb

I then fixed LILO to see the new kernel, and rebooted. It 
worked, but for some reason my modules (eg, my soundcard 
and my ethernet card drivers) are not available.

Did I miss something? Is there an equivalent to make 
modules and make modules_install that I'm missing? I 
expected the make-kpkg to automate the modules.

Thanks for any help.
