Thank you Tomi and Dan for explanations. This made the "chapter" modules
and module handling a bit clearer to me. Yes Dan, there were lot's of
"can't locate module tty-ldisc-5" in my logfile.
It's just like a treasure hunt, if you know the treasure is buried on an
island. Unfortunately, this island happens to be -say Britain-. Lots of
places to dig.
Now I know the place to dig is -say Bear Green Roundabout- and this
makes it easier for the next time. Thank you very much.
