Correct.  The current recursive makefile design means it is difficult
to get a definitive list of modules without excessive overhead.  So
modules_install assumes that you have compiled the modules already and
lets the 'cp' command fail.  The 2.5 Makefile redesign will get this
right.

Broken 2.4 makefile design.  http://www.tux.org/lkml/#s8-8
The 2.5 makefile redesign will kill this problem once and for all.
