No, starting from the 2.4.18 source tree, the working install was 2.4.18-bf2.4 but I can't see a source tree for that and assume it's the same as the bf2.4 and the issue is in the modules loaded and marked loadable. OK, inspired by responses from debian-user I've tried explicitly adding another module: via-rhine as it happens: bingo, still complaints about all the other modules but that one is there now so the issue is clearly the basic configuration I started with. I had assumed that the initial make menuconfig from the source tree would start with the basic modules in. Is there a way to take the module list from the bf2.4 install kernel image and start from there?

I can see that would have been better than "--version" and I'll go over to that if I can get a basic config right now ... > This may help you while you are getting things working.

What are the errors you are seeing? IIRC all the module dependency should be handled automatically, but if something is broken maybe you need to manually do a "depmod -a"? > > If I rename the old /libmodules back again: no improvement. > This is all in changing from a working 2.4.18 kernel to the custom 2.4.18 with RAID, correct? Did you miss any config differences in rebuilding (The easiest is to start with the working system config and then add the changes you want.) You might also want to look into using kernel flavors (see the "--append-to-version" discussion in kernel-package). This may help you while you are getting things working.

how does make-dpkg (and linux/debian) map modules?
How does Debian (3.0r2 2.4.18 kernel and lilo) find its modules if you compile a tweaked kernel? I'm not getting it right and hope someone can help. TIA, Chris Long story: I've cracked via-rhine problem I had, now all I need is the get RAID- 1 mirroring of the two drives on this machine First thing you need is to have RAID1 support compiled into the kernel, not loading from modules. Seems reasonably simple, I'm using the 2.4.18-bf2.4 default kernel image at present so I've: got the kernel source: /usr/src/kernel-source-2.4.18 (bunzipped & tar -xvf etc) got the kernel headers which I'd got as kernel-headers-2.4.18-bf2.4 when I was working on the via-rhine driver issue cd /usr/src/kernel-source-2.4.18 make menuconfig (and put RAID and RAID1 into the kernel with "Y"s) make deps make-kpkg clean make-kpkg --revision=custom.1.0RAID kernel_image dpkp -i ../ ... .deb I move /lib/modules/2.4.18 to 2.4.18old as suggested during this process ... do the lilo bit and reboot ... and linux can't find modules it wants ... If I rename the old /libmodules back again: no improvement. I've looked through /usr/doc/kernel-package and the README seems to me to say that what I've done should have worked, and the README.modules talks about /usr/src/modules and doesn't seem to me to fit with the Debian directories and I'm baffled again.
