Which seems ok. I take it that it reloaded the conf.modules file.
Do I have to do a reboot or is this enough (I tried both) ?
Not OK. You have only edited the config file - you need to run depmod
-a ("man depmod", modules are a real pain!) to read the new config and
write to to the dependencies file (note that most distro's run this
command in the initscripts on boot, so reboot will also work.)

Tried doing that, and tried rebooting, but still not fixed.
I get no more log errors but 'ipchains -nL' still shows nothing.
Another list pointed me to the fact that I might be trying to run
a binary of size 0. A search with 'find / -perm 755 -empty -print'
indeed revealed that /sbin/ipchains was size 0.
No wonder it never returned anything.
Even more weird now is that my gateway machine's eth1 for LAN
can no longer ping the other LAN machines, and vice-versa. However,
The LAN machines can ping each other (not the gateway) but cannot
access the internet via eth0 (since it can't go through eth1).
I still have this problem. Does anyone know why ?
Thanks... Dan.

First run "alsactl store". That should (hopefully) create that file. -- Asheesh. Keep in touch with http://mandrakeforum.com: Subscribe the "[EMAIL PROTECTED]" mailing list.

I dread the possibility of having to re-install all over again
for the third time :( ... still searching for an answer.

Re: [expert] can't locate binfmt error
In my case binfmt was looking for a unix bin loader on ipup/down. binfmt is a set of modules for the kernel to load various files. In conf.modules put "alias binfmt- binfmt_aout" so it can find the one it wants. There is also a java and other modules, depending on which one is required. There is not a lot of info around on this problem BillK Keep in touch with http://mandrakeforum.com: Subscribe the "[EMAIL PROTECTED]" mailing list.
