vmware-RHEL3U3 install kernel 2.4.25 fail
 

I install vmware on windows xp, and install RHEL3U3 on vmware.

I need to upgrade kernel from 2.4.21 to 2.4.25 for smbfs supporting large file(> 2G). this is my compiler steps:

* download 2.4.25 kernel ;
* unpack to /usr/src/linux;
* make menuconfig;

Device Drivers --->SCSI device support ---><*> SCSI disk support
Device Drivers --->SCSI device support --->SCSI low-level drivers ---> <*> BusLogic SCSI support

Device Drivers ---> Fusion MPT device support ---><M> Fusion MPT (base + ScsiHost) drivers <M> Fusion MPT misc device (ioctl) driver

Device Drivers ---> USB support ---><*> USB Mass Storage support

Device Drivers ---> Networking support --->Ethernet (10 or 100Mbit) ---> <*> AMD PCnet32 PCI support

* make bzimage
* make modules
* make modules_install
* make initrd
* copy the bzImage, System.map, vmlinux to /boot and change their names.
* edit /etc/grub.conf
add new entry for 2.4.25 kernel.

* reboot ,select 2.4.25.
panic error occurs:

kmod: failed to exec /sbin/modprobe -s -k scsi_hostadapter, errno=2



start failed.

Is there any wrong steps?
any advice is appreciated.
