I remember some comment in old modules.conf (or somewhere else) back with 2.0.xx kernels that lead me to believe what I said above. /usr/doc/modutils clearly says otherwise, though. -- Ed C.

You have to invoke "update-modules" in order to convert the stuff under /etc/modutils/ to a file /etc/conf.modules. HTH, Ralf -- Ralf G. R.

It's just odd that I never saw that error before even though I already recompiled the kernel twice since installing Debian. I am finding I do indeed NOT need some of the entries in /etc/modules. Some of those errors should stop now. -- Andrew -- PGP Key ID 0x5EE61C37 PGP5.0 --

Very strange since I did not install apple talk. Well, I did not intend to do so. I will edit my conf.modules (or is it modules.conf ?) thanks -- Andrew -- PGP Key ID 0x5EE61C37 PGP5.0 --

Or modules.conf, or etc/modutils/aliases. conf.modules and modules.conf are allegedly going away, but my system isn't reading anything in /etc/modutils/ so I have to keep modules.conf anyway. -- Ed C.
