What if you do a depmod -a, then rebuild your /boot/initrd.img so that the modules are loaded at beginning of boot: (do a mv /boot/initrd.img /boot/initrd_backup.img first) mkinitrd /boot/initrd.img 2.4.19-16mdk ...double check the name of the new initrd image in the /boot, double check your /etc/lilo.conf and make sure the image name is correct there as well, then re-run lilo, and reboot...that should load the modules via initrd when you're booting - then you'll know about duplication of the drives...then we can work something else out... -- Mon Dec 9 08:44:59 EST 2002 8:45am up 12:30, 5 users, load average: 1.61, 0.83, 0.65 .o0 linux user:267497 0o. -------------------------------- | __ __ | k�hn media australia | / \ /| |'-. | http://kma.0catch.com | .\__/ || | | | | _ / `._ \|_|_.-' | stephen k�hn | | / \__.`=._) (_ | email: [EMAIL PROTECTED] | |/ ._/ |"""""""""| | email: [EMAIL PROTECTED] | |'. `\ | | | icq: 5483808 | ;"""/ / | | | | smk ) /_/| |.-------.| | mobile: 0410-728-389 | ' `-`' " " | Berkeley, New South Wales, AU -------------------------------- Coralament*Best Gr�tens*Liebe Gr��e*Best Regards*Elkorajn Salutojn The PINK SOCKS were ORIGINALLY from 1952!!
