RHEL 6.0 source code build error

[ShibuThomas]

Hi all,
Now I compiled and installed customized kernel.The problem I'm facing 
now is during the loading, it is
showing the  error:"FATAL ERROR :could not load 
/lib/modules/2.6.32-custom-22.6.32-71/modules.dep:No such file or 
directory".
I verified the following things.
1. After installation of modules,I found  the custom vimlinuz image is 
available in /boot and 2.6.32-custom-            22.6.32-71 folder is 
created in lib directory.

2. I modified grub to add the new custom linuz image also in the list.I 
used the same initramfs file that is used     by the default kernel for 
custom kernel also.

3. restart the system and verified that new kernel image is also 
available in grub prompt.selected the custom     kernel.but I getting 
above mentioned error message.
