Debian does still require quite a bit of knowledge to get everything to work correctly. One thing that should make your life much simplier when recompiling the kernel is the kernel-package package. I use it exclusively since it takes care of many of these cross-dependencies. -- Jean Pierre -- E-mail the word "unsubscribe" to [EMAIL PROTECTED] TO UNSUBSCRIBE FROM THIS MAILING LIST. Trouble?

Re: Kernel and auto module loading.
Thanks, It was in the modules file. I had not noticed that file, and I just checked, it is nowhwere in the docs I have. There was also a lot of unused stuff in the /lib/modules/2.0.3? directory. I am beginning to realise that debian linux is not nearly as 'user unfriendly' as people make out.

Just before doing the install, try moving /lib/modules/2.0.3? aside. Then do the install. Run depmod -a both before and after rebooting. You may also want to check your /etc/modules and /etc/modules.conf files to see whats being preloaded. -- Jean Pierre -- E-mail the word "unsubscribe" to [EMAIL PROTECTED] TO UNSUBSCRIBE FROM THIS MAILING LIST.

Kernel and auto module loading.
I originally installed debian 1.3 stable version and enabled smbfs and rarp on install. I have recompiled the kernel to 2.0.32 and disabled these modules as they were not needed. I did the usual make dep, make clean, make zImage, make modules, make modules_install, and copied the zImage file to /boot and created a symbolic pointer /vmlinuz > /boot/zImage, and reran LILO So far so good...and this works fine except... On bootup I still get loading modules smbfs, rarp plus /lib/modules/2.0.32/ivp4/rarp.0: unresolved symbol kfree_skb_R2cfc2375 /lib/modules/2.0.32/ipv4/rarp.o: unresolved symbol arp etc How do I stop the kernel from loading these modules at startup ? What haven't I done ? Thanks in advance Ian [EMAIL PROTECTED] -- E-mail the word "unsubscribe" to [EMAIL PROTECTED] TO UNSUBSCRIBE FROM THIS MAILING LIST. Trouble? E-mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED] .
