As near as I can see, you haven't actually told it to install the kernel 
modules, just build them.  Here's the proper steps I believe

*For 2.6 kernel building*
   make xconfig
   make
   make modules_install
   make install

a little bit of explanation

make modules_install ( Used to install built modules to 
/lib/modules/<kernel> )

make install - ( To install new kernel to /boot, setup grub, create 
initrd file in /boot, and copy system.map)
