can someone supply a pointer to an explanation for the newer "module-init-tools" and its relevance to the 2.5 kernel? from what i've read, the 2.5 kernel requires newer module-handling features. a lot of the google hits i get searching for this take me to rusty russell's kernel page, where one finds a number of "module-init-tools" tarballs, and a recent modutils source RPM.
so far, based on my reading, i rebuilt the src rpm and installed it on my 2.4.21 kernel box, and everything seems to work fine, but i expected that since it was supposed to be backward compatible. so i'm still a bit unclear on what this new set of module utils is all about: 1) what issue do the new utilities address? 2) are they essential for the 2.5 kernel? 3) is that "modutils" src rpm equivalent to the module-init-tools tarballs? what about the testsuite stuff in that directory? rday p.s. the web page i'm talking about is http://www.kernel.org/pub/linux/kernel/people/rusty/modules/ -- redhat-list mailing list unsubscribe mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] https://listman.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/redhat-list
