Dear Mikkel, I tried with the naked modprobe with this result:- [EMAIL PROTECTED] malcolm]# modprobe dmx3191d.ko FATAL: Module dmx3191d.ko not found. [EMAIL PROTECTED] malcolm]# modprobe dmx3191d FATAL: Could not open '/lib/modules/2.6.8.1-12.5mdk/kernel/drivers/scsi/dmx3191d.ko.gz': No such file or directory dmx3191d.ko.gz does not exist as I have used gunzip which I repeated on dmx3191d.ko just to be sure. Prior to receiving your very kind e-mail, I posted an e-mail onto the list as to whether I could use the 2.4 kernel with Mandrake 10.1 64 bit. I do know that the requirede module will work in linux 2.4. However I am not so sure as to whether it would work with Mandrake 10.1 64 bit. Thank you so much Mikkel for your helpful support and time. Malcolm Candlish.
