I've never had a problem using X11 after compiling a new kernel, but I can't say for certain whether or not this is necessary for specific configurations. > The problems I'm seeing right now are: > > 1) depmod -a produces a large number of errors: <snip> > I believe I did: > > make dep clean bzImage install modules modules_install Is the new kernel the same version as your old one? I ask because if both kernels are version 2.4.20-gentoo-r2 then there may be modules lying around /lib/modules/2.4.20-gentoo-r2 that you did not configure into the new kernel. If you are recompiling a kernel it is best to move the old module tree out of the way before running 'make modules_install'. > Probably related to question #2, the USB hotplug page talks about > modprobing the USB drivers (modprobe usb-ohci.o) but when I try this it > tells me it cannot find the file: > > Wizard usb # modprobe usb-ohci.o > modprobe: Can't locate module usb-ohci.o > Wizard usb # > This should be 'modprobe usb-ohci', don't provide the .o when using modprobe.
