Well, i don't know diddly about devfs, so i have no clue how that impacts the situation. However, it sounds to me like you're either running an older version of modultils, or the executable bit on modprobe got turned off.
FWIW, i've successfully built & booted every kernel since 2.4.3. Some have turned out to be duds, but they did boot. Also, i'll note that running any 2.4.x kernel less than 2.2.12 is a very bad idea, as they have known root exploits. I'm currently running 2.4.12 & 2.4.13 on my boxes. --- Mike Andrew <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > > After compiling succesfully I get the following (paraphrased) error > message > almost immediately on booting > > "unable to exec /sbin/modrobe ...." > > I have torn my hair out with this kernel release as it comes with > devfs and > resierfs auto enabled and a few other things.
