Yes, you're right. I never had to do a depmod during a kernel compile
when I was running Red Hat 5.2 (in the form of Mandrake 5.3). But then
when I upgraded to Red Hat 6.1 by way of Mandrake 6.1 (sux), I had to
start doing the depmod. Could /etc/rc.d/rc.sysinit have been changed
between releases? Thanks,
