Hi group, This should be an easy fix -- if you already know!
The reason many of my modules are not loading is because modprobe is looking in /lib/modules/2.6.12-r6 and not /lib/modules/2.6.16-r3 which was filled when I ran make modules_install. The link to the newer kernel is OK. Yes, I ran modules-update. Also, module loading and unloading options are set=y in kernel. Not a clue as to why some modules load, sound, usb; and some, firewire, ppp, forcedeth don't. dmesg is filled with lines like: Unknown symbol < >...disagrees about version of symbol< > ... At the end of the boot console it says: /usr/sbin/pppd/: Couldn't stat /dev/ttyS0: Too many levels of symbolic links. But according to emerge -pv udev I have the latest ver. Which I set up according to the gentoo udev-guide. Attempts to specify the proper dir to modprobe result in no-such-file errors. -mw __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!?
