Are you sure you are booting off the same kernel that you compiled the
modules for?  Are you running depmod -a?  Just some wild stabs in the

I'm not sure how using Debian would help here.  Red Hat and Debian
both use the same Linux kernel (maybe different versions, but
instructions on how to compile it correctly shouldn't differ).
