not sure. I've upgraded my whole box (and kernel and devfsd), and I got the same problem as described before. But downgrading to 2.4.21-0.18mm-mdk , my default, kernel didin't solve these problems. So the bug of "depmod -A" getting sucked isn't related to 2.4.21 kernel, for me. X wouldn't start, but only doing a service dm restart has started X, without the need to load at hand the NVidia module. I have another problem who raises at the same time: vmware can't start anymore, it's end with a sigfpe... Emmanuel
