According to the instructions: "Unfortunately, the modules still need to be packaged, so you will need to search for all .ko files, copy them into an empty directory and compress them into a tar.gz. The name will be modules-2.6.27.46-01192-version.tar.gz. "

I guess I need to compress this directiory (hope it is this simple).

I understand you all are busy, as am I, but, interesting to hack away at this....

afaik you don't want to just gzip the directory, what I did is write a short shell script that copies all of the .ko files (searching recursively) to a different folder and then gzips that, using the modues-versionstuff.tar.gz format. I don't remember where I found the example script (could have been the first post or a link from the first post) but I only had to make some small modifications to get it to work.
