How does kernel know which /lib/modules directory to use

16 Apr 2001

      If I recompile a new kernel eg 2.4.3
will it 
1) create the directory structure /lib/modules/2.4.3 for me

2) tell boot to use these modules ?

Ive been having trouble installing the 2.4.2 on the suse site and want to 
clear up my misunderstanding
