Slackware is no different to any other distro when it comes to using programs like 'make' to compile a kernel, the command 'make modules_install' ends with the following, unless of course one tells 'make' to do otherwise in the Makefile of the kernel source. if [ -r System.map ]; then /sbin/depmod -ae -F System.map 2.4.22-ac4-3; fi Where "linux-2.4.22-ac4-3" is your kernel version and EXTRAVERSION. I rather think the problem Peter is having is because he is copying Redhat modules into another kernel version, or at least thats the way i ""quickly"" read his mail. IMHO Peter is experimenting, he is using modules from another distro, i would not even recomend using modules from another kernel version, let alone another distro. He possably after copying those modules to the destination dir, did not do; depmod -a If he did i am sure he would have gotten a lot of error messages about, "Unresolved symbols". I suggest Peter uses the default installed kernel 2.4.22 from slackware 9.1 and try what i said, i can assue folks it will work IF they follow my words to the "TEE", after all it works for me. On top of all that, if Peter wants he can have a copy of my presant .config file from which he can then see just what i compile into and as modules for my system considering i have one of these dam chipsets that just does not work properly like the folks at ALSA think. -- If the Linux community is a bunch of theives because they try to imitate windows programs, then the Windows community is built on organized crime.
