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.
