Hi, a generic way is: 1) Go to /usr/src/linux 2) grep tg3 $(find -name Makefile) of course you can replace tg3 with every other module name (but don't add the .ko extension!) Geralt.

Ahh haa, very good... thanks. As much mess as I've put myself thru on this kernel business having that answered is almost exciting Aha Aha ... a new avenue to try out. But I don't really hold out much hope for that being the missing ingredient When I boot from install cd it finds an SVGA type of display and a pcnet32 network requirement. But at least I was in the ball park on the section that critter is in. I haven't actually tried it yet so there is still hope hehe.
