There are no modules in /lib/modules/2.4.25/kernel. None. Why, I don't know...but there aren't any. So I moved my old modules from 2.4.22 over, to see if it would work. So far, it hasn't(don't worry I made a backup of my old kernel folder). Yes, I did make modules, and make modules_install. Then I did make all just for the hell of it. Still no modules. The modules loaded fine for 2.6.3, but I can't get that kernel to boot. I would really really like some help, as I've been trying to do this for a long time, because I need acpi for my laptop. ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- ---- > Want to buy your Pack or Services from MandrakeSoft? > Go to http://www.mandrakestore.com >
