This is probably a stupid question, but here goes:
When a normal user on a x86 PC builds a 2.6.x kernel in his home directory by
issuing the 'make' command where are the modules placed?
I'm not on the list, so please CC me.

Just in the build tree.
You need to be root to install the modules in /lib/modules using "make
modules_install", but everything else can be done as a normal user. If
you want to have them installed somewhere else, you don't need to be
root, btw, "make INSTALL_MOD_PATH=/tmp modules_install" will install
the modules in /tmp/lib/modules .

They're left where they are compiled.
To actually put them anywhere, you must do "make modules_install" as root.

Thank you. INSTALL_MOD_PATH is exactly what I needed.
