Well I found out that the problem was that the modules weren't found with the current kernel. So I copied all of the modules from my old kernel over to my new one(Don't worry, I made backups). That didn't work, it said they weren't recognized or something like that. So I'm guessing they're not compatible with 2.4.24. Is there some way to reinstall all my drivers and modules? Oh, also, whenever I switch over from one kernel to the other to do stuff, I get a message, sc0 was removed and hdc was added, or vice versa. It asks me to run a config tool also. Any idea why this happens? I think it's related to the module and driver problem. Any suggestions? marc
