Yes, OK, so I have not checked =) I just reacted on if
installkernel form non RH misbehave or not.

So what have you tried up to now ? Does there even
exist a /lib/modules/2.6.0-test5 ? If so, is it an file/something

Else have a look at scripts/Makefile.modinst and maybe add
a few @echo's. I have not looked that closely at the build
system yet.
