I do upgrades using sysupgrade. „sysupgrade auto“ does the right thing w.r.t. modules. Otherwise, if you want to reboot with the new kernel, you should run „sysupgrade modules“ before.

Building from source, I do 

./build.sh kernel=GENERIC modules
# install kernel
sudo ./build.sh installmodules=/

like the others in the thread suggested.
