This is understandable; mkbootdisk uses what kernels and modules you have on your hard drive as the sources for building the bootdisk. Therefore you must have the /boot and the /lib/modules files on your hard drive in order to build the boot disk. Simply reinstalling your old kernel, configuring as needed, compiling it all, and 'make install modules_install' are all necessary to enable mkbootdisk to create your boot disk.
