The flag EXTRAVERSION in the top level Makefile was set to -4GB in suses
compilation. In my makefile it's clean, but you can set it to, say, -tim.
That way, the modules will land in /lib/modules/2.4.x-tim, and they won't
collide with the original modules. That way you can also keep the old kernel
+ modules, so you have a known working kernel to fall back on, in case the
compile is a failure.
