Check your modules.conf or conf.modules in /etc. It's probably designating
the root module directory as /lib/modules.preferred - comment out any such
lines, and modprobe will by default look in /lib/modules/`uname -r`. Thewn
run depmod -a, and autoloading with kmod should work. And make sure that
kerneld is NOT being started. I don't know if this'll cause a problem, but
I'd not take chances.
