`device node has wrong file type` During Kernel Compile

I'm following the "Compile Custom Kernel" instructions at

http://library.linode.com/linode-platfo … led-kernel">http://library.linode.com/linode-platform/custom-instances/pv-grub-custom-compiled-kernel

because I need to enable SELinux on my Fedora 14 installation.

When I do the steps

make -j3 bzImage
make -j3 modules
make
make install
make modules_install

At the command make install I get the following message.

sh /usr/src/kernels/2.6.35.7-linode29/arch/x86/boot/install.sh 2.6.35.7-linode29 arch/x86/boot/bzImage \
    System.map "/boot"
Usage: modinfo [-0][-F field][-k kernelversion][-b basedir]  module...
 Prints out the information about one or more module(s).
 If a fieldname is given, just print out that field (or nothing if not found).
 Otherwise, print all information out in a readable form
 If -0 is given, separate with nul, not newline.
 If -b is given, use an image of the module tree.
device node has wrong file type

As you can see I'm trying to compile kernel 2.6.35.7-linode29 with SELinux enabled.

The instructions include steps for Fedora 13 but I'm using Fedora 14. Am I missing a step for Fedora 14 or something?
