You may have modules left over from your previous kernel still in the
/lib/modules tree. Try deleting the subtree for your kernel version and
then rerun the make modules_install to install just the fresh modules.
When you recompile the kernel, the symbol definitions generally change,
so any modules compiled under prior versions will complain.
