Thanks for that clarification, also thanks Adam and Kent. That's dealt with the actual problem, but I notice that lsmod gives me 27 lines of modules, there are just 2 modules in my /etc/modules. Where/when/how do the other 25 modules get installed? Only 1 of the first 5 appears in /etc/modules.conf. Thanks Bob -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
