Try a 'depmod -a' than a reboot Did you compile with 'make bzImage' or 'make-kpkg kernel_image' ? Debian provides a really easy way to compile and install a new kernel as a .deb package which make removing old kernels or upgrade a new one a piece of cake. apt-get install kernel-source-?.?.?? compress the kernel-source-?.?.??.tar.bz2 in /usr/src then in the kernel-source-???? directory type make-kpkg kernel_image, which will compile the kernel and any internel modules, then if you've install any extra modules ALSA, nVidia drivers ect. in the same directory do make-kpkg modules_image then cd .. and use dpkg -i to install the newlt created .deb files Cheers Joel
