NEWBIE : can't find /lib/modules/2.4.17/modules.dep error

[Punj, Arun]

Folks,

I upgraded the 2.4.7-10 kernel that comes with RH7.2 to 2.4.17. 
[ I could compile it fine and grub is able to load it too...]

However, I see the error : can't find /lib/modules/2.4.17/modules.dep
multiple times.

Afcourse there is no such file or directory. I suspect that this
directory and file should have been created when I compiled 2.4.17 
kernel but it did not. ( I did make bzImage )

Can you please point out the problem and also the effect of this
error because I cannot see any side effect of this error.

Thanks
Arun
