[plug] module dependencies

'ls -l /lib/modules' gives
total 4 drwxr-xr-x   11 root     root         4096 May 23 18:12 2.2.14-5.0/

I installed the kernel source when installing RH6.2
I built the kernel/modules the usual way (under /usr/src/linux):
make menuconfig (then loaded custom config file)
added "new" to variable "EXTRAVERSION=-5.0" in /usr/src/linux/Makefile
make dep
make clean
make bzImage (zImage is too big)
make modules
make modules_install

depmod -l gives me errors saying that '-l' is an invalid parameter.
