If you have recompiled the modules for the specific releases of your kernel,
and performed a "make modules_install", the compiled modules will be copied
to directories under /lib/modules/$(KERNELRELEASE). The kernel source top-level
Makefile defines $(KERNELRELEASE) and passes this value throughout all
of the kernel component and module builds.
There may be problems if you have pre-compiled modules for one kernel version
and try to use that module with other kernel versions. I have seen this with
commercial vendors that refuse to release source code for their Linux device
drivers (i.e. in support of WinModems ... ugh!).

is there a website that will give me example scripts or tell me how to
set it up so that I can read data from a file on boot and update those
files dynamically? So, i could store a news file and pipe that files to
the screen each logon, say, with the current data and time as well as
whether new mail has arrived?

Windows monitor drivers are there to tell the system which resolutions and
refresh rates the monitor supports, and possibly power saving features.
Any monitor will work with Linux.

Subject: Mounting CDs: kernel remembers?
Date: Sat, 31 Mar 2001 23:01:32 GMT
Here's an interesting one:
I burned several identical CDs using two brands of media. As it turns
out, the CDs in one batch were defective (Princo branded as CompUSA).
Now for the interesting part: after attempting to mount one of the bad
copies, I could not mount any of the good copies until I had inserted a
completely different volume (not a copy). After doing that, my good
copies would mount just fine! Over and over again! The experiment was
repeatable--inserting a bad copy would start the process anew.
It must be that part of the system--either the CDROM drive or the Linux
kernel--retains volume information after a failed mount. If it
encounters the volume again--even on a physically different CD--it will
refuse to mount it. Mounting a different volume wipes away the memory.
Which part of the system is responsible for this behavior? Is it the
CDROM drive, or the kernel?

It can do a bit more than that I believe it can also signal what 'modes'
it can cope with.

I should still be able to boot from a floppy if it's outside the first 1024

Date: Sat, 31 Mar 2001 23:14:26 GMT
Hi,
I've been trying to make a bootable CDROM. I can get the kernel
loaded but
how does the root fs come in to the picture? I made a 450MB root file
system,, made the iso9660 image, then burnt it.. The kernel boots
great.... However, it can't find the root fs.... I have most of the
file
systems configured into the kernel,,,, iso, ext2, etc.......
My syslinux.cfg seems ok,,, tried:
root=/dev/sr0
/dev/hdc
/dev/hdc1 with no luck...
The image boots from a harddisk partition.....
Any idea what I'm missing?
Thanks

I currently have a ATI video card in my machine and am wanting to
install a different video card. How do you tell the OS that a new card
is installed before it tries to initialize it with the wrong drivers?
Can someone give me information or point me to a source explaining how
this is done? I am running Mandrake 7.2 with the ManFreq Update.
Thank you for any assistance.

change to init 3 so you go into shell, then re-set up x with the new card
also have kudzu running when you reboot as it should pick up the new bit of

I'd say do it. Nice thing about GRUB is that you don't need to redo your
boot sector each time you recompile the kernel.
OTOH, I've never heard of Lilo seriously screwing up. *shrug*
