This is all complete, and is slowly moving into [testing] over the next half hour or so. Final rebuild list looks like this: kmod linux linux-lts bash-completion fcpci fcpcmcia nvidia nvidia-lts lirc cdfs ndiswrapper r8168 r8168-lts rt3562sta vhba-module virtualbox-modules virtualbox-modules-lts open-vm-tools-modules is a pain in the butt and has NOT been rebuilt yet. I'll get to this tonight but just a heads up that there will be some sort of a lag period before this is updated. Again, please heed the warning from my original message if you're a custom kernel user. If you can't immediately rebuild your kernel, a quick *temporary* solution is to either move the module dir yourself or symlink /usr/lib/modules back to /lib/modules. This *must* be done in the near future (ominous!). cheers, Dave
