Your output indicates a problem with modules. After makeing a new kernel image, you have to also make new modules with "make modules" and "make modules_install". It is not clear from your message if you did this as well. When that has all been done, do a "rm /lib/modules/modules.dep" before "depmod -a". See if that gives better results. Even better, get the kernel-package. It is a really cool util. Not only can you use it to register the kernel-source and kernel-image to the debian system (very convenient if you patch or customize it), but it also greatly simplifies building kernels. With the kernel-package you won't have to bother anymore about all the targets to make. Just make your favorite config and run "make-kpkg" (read the man page of course for the proper parameters.)
