If you had taken the trouble to have answered the few questions i asked you in my reply on the other thread, you could have gotten an answer here strait away from me, however you choose not to so you still have problems. depmod with the -a option will write modules.dep to the directory which matches the results of the command, 'uname -r', so seeing that depmod wrote to 2.4.18 we can presume you are getting mixed up with 2.4.18-sh and 2.4.18, as i said in a previous mail, the directroy containg the linux source code (which is linked to "linux" with a symlink) is simply a name, the name of the resulting kernel is taken from the topdir Makefile lines 1,2,3 and 4, 4 is optional. > how will i made it > update the /lib/modules/2.4.18-sh directory instead of > the /lib/modules/2.4.24 directory? I think its time you answered the questions i and others have asked, then and only then could one get to the bottom of the problem you are having. I am convinced its got nothing to do with kernel 2.4.18 (see my comments in other mails). > again, thanks for the help guys . .. -- If the Linux community is a bunch of theives because they try to imitate windows programs, then the Windows community is built on organized crime.
