It sounds like >you booted the wrong kernel. Thanks Bruce, but definitely not. I have two partitions, with the host(an older LFS)on one and LFS6.7 on the other. LFS6.7 is booting the new kernel(2.6.35.4), but proc/version and uname both report it as the older kernel, 2.6.27.10. Have just reinstalled kernel to be sure, still reporting it wrongly. >LFS does not install a /lib/modules/RELEASE file. I've not heard of >that before. When I say RELEASE I mean the kernel version, i.e. /lib/modules/2.6.35.4. This is what 'uname' reads? thanks MAC -- http://linuxfromscratch.org/mailman/listinfo/blfs-support FAQ: http://www.linuxfromscratch.org/blfs/faq.html Unsubscribe: See the above information page
