Yes (pink face): as I now realise after reading eg Willie Wong's comment, external modules are stored in /lib/modules/<kernel-version>/ & remain there for the appropriate kernel to use (unless you delete them). I could not get Nvidia to work with 2.6.9 (problem with Nvidia version), so 12 -> 14 is the 1st time I've updated Nvidia for a new kernel version. >> reset the display for Gkrellm > ???? There is a bug in Gkrellm (Gentoo # 104805): the temperature + fan display disappears whenever you change the kernel & you have to R-click & configure it to display again. >> Maybe I'm not getting what you're not getting ...
