Excellent advice - thank you. Making 'mrproper' really seems to be
necessary. However, when I made 'modules_install', the modules ended
up in "/lib/modules/2.4.20-8dcustom". My source directory was
"/usr/src/linux-2.4.20-sa", so I expected the modules to go to 
"/lib/modules/linux-2.4.20-sa". 

I don't understand where the name "linux-2.4.20-8dcustom" comes from.
If I make several kernels, do they all have to be called this?  Or do
I always have to rename the subdirectory in /lib/modules after making
modules? Well, I don't know whether that would work - the name seems
to be hard-coded somewhere.
