Hi group, After running -Du gentoo-sources, I noted that /etc/modules.autoload.d/2.6 had been overwritten by a blank form. So I re-wrote it and rebooted. All, and *only* modules having to do with net stuff, ie, ppp, eth0, serial devices etc failed to load. Here's a sample from dmesg: kb ppp_gener

Hi group, This should be an easy fix -- if you already know! The reason many of my modules are not loading is because modprobe is looking in /lib/modules/2.6.12-r6 and not /lib/modules/2.6.16-r3 which was filled when I ran make modules_install. The link to the newer kernel is OK. Yes, I ran mo
