Intel driver 2.6.0: Missing drm.ko and i915.ko files after building entire graphics stack

[Joe Smith]

This is a repost... still looking for help... thanks!

I've been following the directions at http://www.x.org/wiki/Development/git.  I'm running Fedora 10 with an Intel GME965 chipset.

I was able to build the drm-intel-2.6.28-20090112.tar.bz2 kernel and boot from it.  Good.

Then I used the nice script at the end of the www.x.org page labelled "Quick and easy way to install a development build".  (Note: the git files were cloned Jan 19)  The script seemed to run normally (as root).  Then I proceeded to the instructions labelled "Running your new stack".

I booted the new kernel into run level 3.  When I tried insmod'ing the new modules, I couldn't find them.  The only ones found are in the new kernel directory, not /opt/gfx-test/ as I expected.

[root at xyz]# find / -name drm.ko
/home/joe/build/kernel/drivers/gpu/drm/drm.ko
/lib/modules/2.6.27.9-159.fc10.i686/kernel/drivers/gpu/drm/drm.ko
/lib/modules/2.6.27.5-117.fc10.i686/kernel/drivers/gpu/drm/drm.ko
/lib/modules/2.6.28/kernel/drivers/gpu/drm/drm.ko

[root at xyz]# find / -name i915.ko
/home/joe/build/kernel/drivers/gpu/drm/i915/i915.ko
/lib/modules/2.6.27.9-159.fc10.i686/kernel/drivers/gpu/drm/i915/i915.ko
/lib/modules/2.6.27.5-117.fc10.i686/kernel/drivers/gpu/drm/i915/i915.ko
/lib/modules/2.6.28/kernel/drivers/gpu/drm/i915/i915.ko

I inserted the modules in the 2.6.28 kernel directory, and received the following:

[root at xyz]# insmod /lib/modules/2.6.28/kernel/drivers/gpu/drm/drm.ko
[drm] Initialized drm 1.1.0 20060810

[root at xyz]# insmod /lib/modules/2.6.28/kernel/drivers/gpu/drm/i915/i915.ko
pci 0000:00:02.0: PCI INT A -> GSI 16 (level, low) -> IRQ 16
[drm] Initialized i915 1.6.0 20080730 on minor 0

Notice the version numbers and dates are not recent.  I tried starting X anyway, but the keyboard and mouse where unresponsive.

Any ideas why I can't find the new .ko files to use for insmod?  Are the instructions out of date?

Thanks a lot for any suggestions.
