That looks correct to me. That's what i always do, although i always build my kernels in /usr/src/linux/. > > 1) Are you sure you coppied the right System.map into /boot?

V4L (Video for Linux) is for TV/webcams. Its getting it from somewhere. You sure that you didn't taint your kernel source, or copy the kernel to the wrong place or with the wrong name. Something is crossing your signals. Oh wait, this is a Caldera box, isn't it? They have that perverse /etc/modules/default crap, right? Check in there and see if there are any references to anything odd. Also, what version of modutils are you running?

And then if that works ok, add something like this to /etc/modules.conf: alias scsi0 <module_name> So i take it that your NIC & Sound are now working? -- ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Lonni J Friedman [EMAIL PROTECTED] Linux Step-by-step & TyGeMo http://netllama.ipfox.com _______________________________________________ Linux-users mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] Unsubscribe/Suspend/Etc -> http://www.linux-sxs.org/mailman/listinfo/linux-users
