What about the distros that can use either, such as gentoo? Gentoo uses modules.conf; is modprobe.conf not compatiable with a 2.4 kernel, while modules.conf is with a 2.6?
The files look so similar that I doubt it would matter very much either way. If indeed both kernels would work with both, then I think it is more of a distro-specific thing than a kernel-specific one. Also, do all other (single-kernel) distros follow this? -Nate On Thu, 30 Dec 2004 16:27:34 -0500, Michael T.
