Dear Mikkel,

I tried a you suggested with the following reult:-
[EMAIL PROTECTED] malcolm]# /sbin/modprobe 
'/lib/modules/2.6.8.1-12.5mdk/kernel/drivers/scsi/dmx3191d.ko'
FATAL: Module /lib/modules/2.6.8.1-12.5mdk/kernel/drivers/scsi/dmx3191d.ko not 
found.

[EMAIL PROTECTED] malcolm]# /sbin/insmod 
'/lib/modules/2.6.8.1-12.5mdk/kernel/drivers/scsi/dmx3191d.ko'
insmod: error inserting 
'/lib/modules/2.6.8.1-12.5mdk/kernel/drivers/scsi/dmx3191d.ko': -1 Unknown 
symbol in module

Under insmod '-1 Unknown symbol in module', and under modprobe 'not 
found' even though I included the full path!

I don't know of any other modules that could be needed.

Thank you, I do appreciate your kind input.

Malcolm Candlish.
