I've been recompiling a lot just lately, and think I've figured out
one more detail to this.  Yes, 'make' on the 2.6.9 kernel now
automatically does a 'make modules'.  But it seems that neither 'make
install' nor 'make modules_install' causes 'make modules' to be run.

So what you did should work fine, but other close variants would not.
