I just reinstalled from Potato CD's to clean out some very messy stuff I had done to my system with Woody... :)
I pulled out a custom 2.4 kernel package which had been made previously by make-kpkg, and installed it. There are a number of modules, including soundcore (for the ALSA driver I use). On reboot I get a series of messages stating that modules are not found, and when I attempt to load soundcore with insmod, it also fails with the same message (module not found). A recompile of the kernel from sources and reinstall also fails, so it's nothing weird about the build, AFAICT. I thought that the kernel .deb package would have managed this for me, but depmod -a does nothing. I have tried this several times.. I just got soundcore to install, but that was accomplished by specifying the entire path to the driver. I thought this information wasn't required. Am I wrong about this? Is there something I'm blind to that makes obvious sense here?? Would appreciate any help! Kenward -- It is not so very important for a person to learn facts. For that he doesn't really need a college education, for he can learn them from books. The value of an education in a liberal arts college is not the learning of many facts but the training of the mind to thinking--something that cannot be learned from books. Albert Einstein
