Modules won't load.

I am using SuSE 7.1 with kernel 2.4.2. I recompiled it with 4GB memory and SMP. So this creates the modules in /lib/modules/2.4.2-4GB-SMP. The problem is that machine 'wants' to load modules from /lib/modules/2.4.2. How do I correct this? I have rebuilt the kernel about 4 times, same problem.
