In the linux source tree look in Documentation/modules.txt for more information. I took care of that appletalk error just now in /etc/conf.modules. I will have to tolerate thos other errors, but they only occur when I reboot. thanks -- Andrew

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 --

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.
