Hi Andrew, Personally, I think that patching BusyBox will lead to more confusion in the long run so I prefer not to do that. It seems to me that many modules have changed between the 2.4 and 2.6 kernels, so anyone hoping for a 3.x -> 4.x upgrade that "just works" with respect to module loading is going to be disappointed. Adding a further step to an upgrade to cope with a name change on one file is not so bad, IMHO. We can cover it in the upgrade documentation. I am happy for us to rename /etc/modules if that is the least bad thing to do. davidMbrooke ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ The Next 800 Companies to Lead America's Growth: New Video Whitepaper David G.
