Make doesn't produce kernel modules

[Jonathan B. <jb...@sm...>]

I'm running Debian Etch, with all the latest updates installed. I've 
downloaded a linux kernel from kernels.org (2.6.27), and have already 
compiled and am running the new kernel.

This is what I've done with lirc:
1) Downloaded lirc-0.8.4a.tar.bz2
2) Extracted everything to /usr/src/lirc-0.8.4a directory
3) Ran setup.sh
4) Selected Ati userspace (I didn't compile the ATI remote driver), then 
saved and ran configure.
5) Ran make
6) Ran make install


When I get finished modprobe lirc_dev and modprobe lirc_atiusb fail (It 
cannot find the kernel modules). If I search for the .ko files under the 
lirc-0.8.4a folder, they don't exist and they also don't exist under the 
/lib/modules/2.6.27 folder. Any ideas what is going wrong? --- Thank you.
