*shrug*

Probably all you had to do after enabling the module in the config was:

# make && make modules_install && make install

You would need to make sure that /boot was mounted during the 'make install' 
(which probably was the only step you missed) and then it would have worked. 
You almost *never* need to reinstall from scratch..
