title: Kernel Compilation & missing modules error after `make install`
body: <p>I am compiling kernel 2.6.32-220.el6 downloaded from redhat's ftp server on RHEL 6.2 (VMWARE virtual machine). I have extracted kernel source from downloaded rpm and inside it, I have untared the actual .bz which contains source code and copied it to /usr/src/kernel. After that I have performed the following steps:</p>
  
  <p>make menuconfig /<em>Here I disabled "module versioning support" and "module signature verification"</em>/</p>
  
  <p>make clean</p>
  
  <p>make</p>
  
  <p>make modules</p>
  
  <p>make modules_install</p>
  
  <p>make install</p>
  
  <p>Now every thing works fine until <code>make install</code>. At this point it gives me following error:</p>
  
  <p>[root@localhost linux-2.6.32-220.23.1.el6 G2]# make install</p>
  
  <blockquote>
    <p>sh
    /usr/src/kernels/kernel-2.6.32-220.23.1.el6.src/linux-2.6.32-220.23.1.el6/arch/x86/boot/install.sh
    2.6.32 arch/x86/boot/bzImage \        System.map "/boot"</p>
    
    <p>ERROR: modinfo: could not find module vmhgfs</p>
    
    <p>ERROR: modinfo: could not find module vsock</p>
    
    <p>ERROR: modinfo: could not find module vmci</p>
  </blockquote>
  
  <p>I searched these modules and all three modules are present in /lib/modules/2.6.32-220.el6.x86_64/misc/.</p>
  
  <p>I dont know how to solve this issue. This seems like virtual machine issue as I am doing this on VM.</p>
  
  <p>Any help would be appreciated.</p>
