Re: [newbie] module removal
Thanks! I'll do it this evening. But my question still remains: How could I remove/un-set a module (let say 'rivafb')? I don't want to rebuild the kernel... And another one: How could I recompile a kernel with the same settings as other? (if I have a new (minor) version and I want to keep - as much as possible - the old one settings; or if I have one and I want to make another compilation, but with 1-2 modules different, how could I 'clone' the settings)?

Re: [newbie] module removal
I've tried this all the last evening. I have got no feed-back and the module wasn't removed. No modprobe changes even. I run an 10.1C. I am a newbie and I don't know how to find the reason (in a log or somewhere else?). --- Raffaele BELARDI [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: Dobrescu Mihai wrote: How could I remove/un-set a module (let say 'rivafb')?

I am a newbie and I don't know how to find the reason (in a log or somewhere else?). Give yourself more credit, you did find the warning. It can be safely ignored though because there is no way to get rid of it unless you rebuild the kernel without rivafb support. -- /g Want to buy your Pack or Services from MandrakeSoft?

Re: [newbie] module removal
Dear Sir, I understand that the rivafb is not loaded. I just want to learn how to remove a module I don't need and I took this example. --- Greg Meyer [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: On Tuesday 26 October 2004 06:03 am, Dobrescu Mihai wrote: I've tried this all the last evening.
