I've been doing that for 2.4.18 and 2.4.19, and the kernel

I would expect them to go into

but they actually get put into /lib/modules/2.4.19/v4l2. Strange,
but depmod
finds them OK, and modprobe works.
unfortunately, the machine then hangs solid. well the kernel build
is clean :-)
While depmod "finds them", it's often finding
the wrong ones, which can cause your machine
to hang solid. I noticed this when I was sure
I'd installed v4l2 drivers but only one program
could access the device - doh! - it was loading
the older v4l stuff. Delete the duplicates
in /lib/modules/xxx/kernel/drivers/media/video
did that, stuck printk's in the good ones too.
