Looking at the following:
============================================
[samuel@me ~]$ ls /lib/modules
2.6.11-1.1369_FC4 2.6.12-1.1398_FC4
[samuel@me ~]$ echo
[samuel@me ~]$ ls /boot
System.map-2.6.11-1.1369_FC4 grub vmlinuz-2.6.11-1.1369_FC4
System.map-2.6.12-1.1398_FC4 initrd-2.6.11-1.1369_FC4.img vmlinuz-2.6.12-1.1398_FC4
config-2.6.11-1.1369_FC4 initrd-2.6.12-1.1398_FC4.img
config-2.6.12-1.1398_FC4 kernel.h
[samuel@me ~]$
============================================
I have two kernels:
2.6.12-1.1398_FC4 and 2.6.11-1.1369_FC4
The directories in /lib/modules are created when the kernel
is installed.
in /boot the important files are: System.map-$VERSION,
initrd-$VERSION.img and vmlinuz-$VERSION
As far as I know, config-$VERSION is only needed if you
want to know how the kernel was built... It should be possible
to copy it into the /usr/src/linux directory ( or wherever you're
building your kernel) and use it to config a build the same as
the kernel it's associated with.
