I agree.    I'm not sure if there's a "building the kernel" on the YDL
site,
but I build it up completely as follows:

cd  /usr/src/linux
make mrproper
cp configs/whatever_matches_your_machine.config   .config
make oldconfig
make dep
make
make modules
make modules_install


That should get you going.

Unless your make modules completes you really have not built the kernel
successfully.  You should look into why make modules isn't working.

failed to compile modules.  Kernel "vmlinux" was made OK. This is the
source 2.4.23-0.5.0b from Terra Soft.
