I might not be 100% on this, but I think modules are always installed in /modules, no matter what the kernel is called. When I'm upgrading after a cvsup, I build both GENERIC and my normal custom kernel, but only build modules with one of those to avoid having the same thing installed twice. Since both of Per's kernels are built from the same sources and identical except for the SMP/PCM options, either should work with the same set of modules.
