Yeah - it has worked: using a make-kpkg buildpackage, then installing the new kernel source, kernel headers and finally kernel image still produced unresolved symbols, but the reboot (when I think I read a make depmod is run) rebooted properly and there were no kernel panics. However, there does seem to still be a problem with the module: running an 'update-modules' followed by 'modconf' lists NO modules being present. I assume therefore that the module system has altered slightly (though this worked under 2.4.0-test5). I am using the lastest (2.3.19-1) version of modutils, but this problem won't go away. However, the modules are still being loaded properly, but I simply have to edit the /etc/modules file by hand. Does anyone else have this problem? And if so, has anyone managed to resolve it? Oh, and of course, may I thank everyone who responded to my last problem and helped me fix it - thanks are indeed due.
