Try "modules_install" instead of "install_module"

I am not sure what info might be relevant so I'll just let you know that I'm on Slackware 14.2 and trying to upgrade the Kernel from 4.4.208 to 5.6.0 and I am using ELILO instead of LILO. If anyone has any suggestions or can even just direct me to some resources that might have more info on what is going on with make install_module or the error that would be sick. Thanks.
