How about including the commands you've tried and their output here? I can't give a success example because I'm using a custom-built kernel that doesn't have those modules. I just installed the kernel-image-2.2.20 package so I could see, /lib/modules/2.2.20/fs/nls_cp950.o is right there. Simply running 'modprobe nls_cp950' will load the module. | Also dmesg is not in the log rotation scheme, why? Probably so you can still see the boot log in 3 months or so. It's not going to get bigger because you haven't been rebooting :-). The file /var/log/dmesg gets overwritten each time you boot.
