Looking on my system module-info is also used by "kernelcfg". This seems
to be a GUI to edit /etc/modules.conf. Is module-info perhaps a database
of valid parameters for the various kernel modules? A complete stab in the
dark.

I can't find a reference to module-info in /usr/sbin/redhat-config-network

You weren't. You were told not to _demand_ help by somebody, which you

Hi,
I was searching on module-info creation too.

with modinfo as part of anaconda. Creating a

Hi,
I've recently started to build a new kernel using the
latest 2.4.18-24.8.0 rpm released by Red Hat, for
RH8.0
After building it and copying the relevant files to
the /boot location, I'm wondering what the module-info
file is and what it's meant to do.

I compiled a new kernel and even though I don't have a new module-info in the boot directory, everything is wo

Hi,
I am wondering how to obtain the /boot/module-info file that is
installed by the RedHat kernel rpms. What is it used for and how is it
generated?
Also, what is the /boot/vmlinux-2.2.16-22 file in the /boot directory.
Is this an uncompresses kernel image? Why is it there
Have a question relating to the file module-info-2.2.16-22 in /boot.
How is it compiled?

Hello all.
I'm running RH 5.1 with the 2.0.34 kernel. In /boot, there is
a file called module-info-2.0.34-0.6. Can someone tell me how this
file is created? If I want to install another version kernel, or a
second kernel (different version), what do I do with this file?

I upgraded my kernel to 2.0.33, using source code. How do I
