Seems to me that the top-level Makefile, after doing a modules_install
should do a depmod to create the modules.dep. At least on SuSE 6.2,
after installing a new kernel, you need to hand run depmod before
booting the new kernel, and I seem to forget to do this step more often
than not.
Here's a simple little one-line patch to do just that. Thoughts?
Flames? Outright hatred?

diff -c -r1.1 Makefile

if [ -s $$MODLIB/.misc ]; then inst_mod $$MODLIB/.misc misc; fi; \
rm -f $$MODLIB/.misc $$MODLIB/.allmods; \

+ depmod -a -F System.map $(KERNELRELEASE)
# modules disabled....
