It is looking for the file created and/or updated by "depmod" while running the following command: depmod -e -F /boot/System.map-`uname -r` -v `uname -r` Supposedly, as far as everything is there, yours should look like this: depmod -e -F /boot/System.map-2.6.19.2-grsec.1 -v 2.6.19.2-grsec.1 That should update and give you the following files in /lib/modules/2.6.19.2-grsec.1/: modules.alias modules.ccwmap modules.dep modules.ieee1394map modules.inputmap modules.isapnpmap modules.ofmap modules.pcimap modules.seriomap modules.symbols modules.usbmap Here is hoping. -- greg, [EMAIL PROTECTED] PGP key: 1024D/B524687C 2003-08-05 Fingerprint: E1D3 E3D7 5850 957E FED0 2B3A ED66 6971 B524 687C Alternate Fingerprint: 09F9 1102 9D74 E35B D841 56C5 6356 88C0
