Well, as I said, they're copied to the kernel/sound directory in the correct place for my running kernel. Specifically, /lib/modules/2.4.17ddm-mercury-1/kernel/sound/*. There are no symlinks, and that is the actual path used by make install. Actually, I'll just include the output, so you can see it for yourself (compilation parts snipped out): rm -f /lib/modules/2.4.17ddm-mercury-1/kernel/sound/snd*.o

One thing I note from the output above: I see you're creating a new System.map file, and leaving it in the modules directory. Red Hat (at least) seems to expect this to be in /boot, where the kernel images are kept. Should I move the file there? Is this likely to make a difference?

Well, it isn't. :) Or perhaps it is, but if so it's not looking in the subdirectories under that where the modules actually live. However, as I said before, installing the modules in the misc directory makes them work fine. - -- Derek Martin [EMAIL PROTECTED] - --------------------------------------------- I prefer mail encrypted with PGP/GPG!
