I just compiled a newer kernel and modules.  I still have the older kernel
and modules in their repective places.  How does linux know which modules to
use for each kernel?  Can I configure it?  The idea is that I want to make
sure 2.2.17 modules are being used with 2.2.17 kernel, and 2.4.0-test11
modules are being used with 2.4.0-test11 kernel

When you compile and install a kernel, the modules are stored in 
/lib/modules/<kernelversion>/
which is how the kernel knows which to pick
