Problem installing vanilla kernel on Fedora 13

Hi,

I am trying to install an extra vanilla kernel on Fedora 13. The Fedora 13
runs on vmware virtual machine.
I installed it using and iso of live cd. A 'uname -r' gives the version as
2.6.33-85.fc13.i686.

The kernel version I am trying to install is 2.6.38.8

I am following these steps :

- Download kernel source and unzip it
- make menuconfig (Saved the config)
- make
- make modules_install
- make install

However as soon as i do a 'make install ' an error message appears saying :

"ERROR:modinfo:could not find module i2c_core"

I could find the options for i2c in the config menu and enabled some of them
but didn't help.
Could anyone please tell me how to debug this error ? I  have tried the same
thing on Fedora 14 earlier and there was
no such problem.

Thanks
Vaibhav Jain
