That worked great, thanks a lot Bob. Cudo's on the signature. :) I have a new problem though(its not new ..but now that the last bug is fixed this one is next on my list). When I boot the box, it seems to boot absolutly fine, and right when it is finished booting and it is just about to hand over control to X for gdm to start up.. then tones and tones of modprobe errors for devices that i havent configured in my kernel go scrolling down the screen. I deleted /lib/modules/2.4.20-ck/* and remade my kernel and I still get the same errors. To make my kernel i do: make deb clean bzImage modules modules_install, then mount /boot and cp bzImage to boot, then run /sbin/lilo and reboot. The errors look like this: modprobe: cant locate module /dev/vttuner modprobe: cant locate module /dev/gpmctl modprobe: cant locate module /dev/apm_bios modprobe: cant locate module scd* which is needed for /dev/scd* modprobe: cant locate module sg* which is needed for /dev/sg* It just goes on like that for pages and pages.. but then xfree takes control and gdm starts up, and I log in, and everything works just fine. The weird thing is that lsmod tells me that all the modules that I specified in /etc/modules.autoload were loaded properly. Any ideas? -- [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list
