Where did those modules get installed to?

Looking at how my Fedora 20 system appears to do this, I _guess_ (one of
the programs called by) /sbin/installkernel is looking for these modules
(and/or symbols) in /lib/modules/3.18.0-rc6+, but can't find what it
needs.

Does /lib/modules/3.18.0-rc6+ look comparable to what your system
currently has in /lib/modules/2.6.32-431.el6.x86_64?

Hope this helps,
