I've seen that too - there's an old rather messy web page about kernel compilation on Knoppix.  But I wonder if it's correct ...

Well, I have HD-install and patched the kernel with supermount but after reboot all the modules are gone.
During compilation I did not change anything, only built to kernel supermount option.
I also did make modules and make modules_install
Now after reboot I got error: modprobe - module not found and my net, iso charset are gone...

p.s I did make modules install and kernel make install as root - if it could help

I don't know what the supermount module is called, but I guess the first thing to check would be if it was copied to somewhere in /lib/modules/2.4.26/

You could also try this after applying the supermount patch and making modules:
Code Sample
# make modules
# touch mymarker
# make modules_install
# find / -not -type 'd' -cnewer mymarker | grep -v "\/proc\/" | tee files
# beaver files

You should then see your module somewhere in the list of files.

I checked /lib/modules/2.4.26 and it is almost empty. There are some modules but useless for me like wifi etc. Such thing as 8139too (my netcard) are gone....(The name I found in /etc/modules)
Supermount was built in kernel but it is not working.
Maybe I should compile it as module.
But what about the rest?

If you loaded the Knoppix/DSL .config file before compiling, then there should be plenty of modules in find /lib/modules/2.4/26 and its subdirectories.

If supermount can be compiled as a module, it might avoid needing to recompile the kernel image.

Edit
----
It's possible there might be a problem with the drmP.h file - see the modules section of the repository if you saw an error concerning this.
