on Fedora, make install will do the bootloader thing automatically

it can't be an accident; the kernel source that ship in Fedora have a special "custom" added to the EXTRAVERSION to prevent accidents where people who are learning and follow a kernel building howto overwrite the "known good" kernel, but instead things get installed in a parallel dir with a different EXTRAVERSION.
If Richard overwrote his modules anyway he must have hacked the Makefile himself to deliberately cause this, at which point... well saw wind harvest storm ;)
