Followed the how to along here:

I try to load the applesmc module in my new kernel:

sudo modprobe applesmc
and I get:

FATAL: Module applesmc not found.

What happened ? I load up my old kernel, and applesmc is there, everything is fine.. Why does the new kernel lose it ?

Thanks

To know exactly what your system thinks is in the module tree:

modprobe -l

Probably 'modprobe -l | grep applesmc' returns empty in your case, in which case you need to regenereate the module cache with

depmod -a

Note that when compiling a kernel with a new name, first time around, the depmod works on your old kernel, not the new one.

Hopefully this helps.
