Odin,
Thanks for your note.
I did check for consistency of the running kernel, /usr/src, and /lib/modules and everything looks OK.
It's now running again and seems persistent over reboot.
My only clue is the location of the call to kdm.
I had placed it in /etc/inittab as some suggested last week. I've now removed it (calling xdm instead) and added a call to the 'module' kdm in rc.conf. Perhaps someone can explain why the location of the command whould cause/cure the behavior I've observed.
Thanks.

Tried compiling your own kernel? I did that, and it's working swell (woha, nice word). Can't remember why I did it though. But I guess I've got my reasons (think it was because I wanted a -ck patch) :]
Maybe you should run �depmod�? Have you checked everything is nice with �uname� and �ls /lib/modules�? I always had a problem with Arch because it doesn't run �lilo� for me, so I started up with an old kernel whilst I thought I had a new one. And than I couldn't load any modules anymore...

Me again... I'm perpetuating this thread single-handedly :-)
The problem has returned (after reboot) so it was not fixed. I can insert the module if I change to the appropriate directory and 'insmod' so it would seem that the system doesn't know where the drivers are.
I did upgrade the kernel to 2.6.11 last week. Is it possible that something was not updated which would point the kernel to /lib/modules/2.6.11,,?

Hi all,
As I said the other day, I'm new to Arch.
As of last night I can't get the modules I need to load. This is pretty much a show stopper as I can't get on the network, run graphics, etc.
The (unknown) change in my system must have occurred with yesterday's updates.
Anyhow, /etc/rc.conf looks OK in the sense that all the modules are listed in the MODULES array.
/etc/rc.sysinit runs OK and tries to load the modules it finds in rc.conf but the kenel says the modules are not found.

Breaker, breaker!
Before posting this I got back into Arch to see if I could find some more info. While I was running in console mode I decied to run 'vmware-config.pl' to update vmware for the new kernel. That worked fine. I then, on a whim, ran /etc/rc.sysint and all the modules loaded!
So I'm a happy camper again but, I must admit, totally perplexed as to why the vmware-config.pl step fised the problem.
Can anyone explain?
TIA.
