Make sure you have module-init-tools, not just modutils, installed!

Or you won't be loading ANY kernel modules.

And yes, they will co-exist.

If you recompile with your root filesystem (ext2/3, Reiserfs, XFS) and
disk controller (IDE/ATAPI or SCSI) drivers as builtins, rather than as
LKMs, you'll need to tell LILO or grub about your new kernel, but you
will not need an initrd.img.gz. Once your kernel can mount your root
filesystem, it will load kernel modules from the disk.
