make modules_install error

if [ -r System.map -a -x /sbin/depmod ]; then /sbin/depmod -ae -F System.map 2.6.17.4; fi

Have been trying to compile a new "SMP" kernel and keep getting the above error when I run make modules_install. I get about 20 modules installed and then the above error hits. I am new to linux and haven't been able to find this anywhere in my searches on the internet.

That's not an error; it is the computer updating your modules info.

can you post all of the terminal output including the commands you are running from start to finish (relating to this task)

Thanks nadroj & quip for the reply.
Did a fresh install this morning on that partition and tried again after work. This time I used a config file from the 2.6 testing kernel on another partition of my harddrive so i would have a better base to work with. That seems to always be a problem for me because I'm a newbee. Anyway I must of did a few thing right because I finally have a freshly baked "SMP" kernel working.
