make sure you have a /etc/modules.conf or equiv
when you have booted the 2.4.16-k7 kernel,
run "depmod -a" and that should update your
/lib/modules/2.4.16-k7/modules.dep
and than probably reboot for safe measure ??
or just try insmod'ing a few modules from
/lib/modules/2.4.16-k7/kernel/*/something.o
lsmod to see if its listed
