Hi Frank,
The modules-2.0.0 utility package has some serious flaws and it
won't work with ftape-internal. Get the newer modutils-2.1.85 that
is used with kernel 2.1.x. You can get it at:
ftp://ftp.kernel.org/pub/linux/kernel/v2.1/
The docs with the package says it won't compile without a
kernel 2.1.x header files, but it worked with no problems with my
2.0.35 kernel header files.
If you don't have the above tools, get them, then if you still have
problems send us a snipit of your /var/log/messages file.
