Any help would be appreciated. > Thanks, > kent I was wrong. Module dependencies don't check out "OK" on bootup. I get the message: "Can't open /lib/modules/2.2.16-3ktb/ for writing" I also noticed that there is a link in my boot directory module-info, linked to module-info-2.2.14-5.0 which was my default kernel and everything works there if I use the original system map. I can't find a corresponding module-info file for my 2.2.16 kernel. Any help would be appreciated.
