This could be a result from the modutils lacking some share libs. The error message is rather worrying, but this often means it needs some special libs in its local /lib/ or /usr/lib .... (so in the initrd probably). You can find out which libs are needed by calling ldd -v /executable/file/name > After that i've got 2 question i hope find an answer: > Since the Sound modules name are changed from 2.4 to 2.6 i suppose that > the rc.sound scripts does not will find the right module to load ... is > this right? in this case i think i should load the module manually ... i > can do this :) Try to load them manually in a local shell on the clients.

I think there is some depmod switch not to use the local files but to prepend anything to the filenames it's going to write... read the depmod manpage for details. > IF anyone who had succes with this kind of job has any other suggest to > give me about this ... i would appreciate it so much!! Jim stated he'd wait with a 2.6 client implementaion until 2.6.12 or so (then it hopefully will be really, really stable). My opinion on this goes along the same line... there's only few need for the newer kernels. Special applications may need it, but the mainstream will have a stable 2.4 and just needs nothing else. So you are kinda pioneer on this :-) Best regards, Anselm mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] ------------------------------------------------------- This SF.Net email is sponsored by: IBM Linux Tutorials Free Linux tutorial presented by Daniel Robbins, President and CEO of GenToo technologies.
