You need to recompile the kernel modules against the new kernel for |

them to work. And /lib/modules is protected so that recompiling kernel |
11 |
modules for new kernels won't remove the modules for the old kernel. |

(Hint: there is a reason that /lib/modules has subdirectories numbered |
13 |
by kernel versions.) |
