re-creating /lib/modules sub-directories after kernel build....

I am running SuSE 8.0 Professional on an Iwill XP333-R with an AMD Athlon 1700+ cpu. To get full access to all the IDE controllers I must use the HPT37x2 module from High Point's web site. I also wanted to rebuild 2.4.18 (or later) to access the packet generator kernel features. I wanted to build a complete set of modules from the source code and build /lib/modules/2.4.18-4GB from scratch. My efforts created a different directory structure in /lib/modules. In particular the sound drivers did not show up in correct "SuSE" locations. How do I (re)build the lib/modules/<kernel> directory structure to SuSE standards ??? Yours, Charles E. Brooks /ceb\
