Since the kernel calls itself -ac5, > modprobe, etc. will not use any of the modules. Hmm, there seems to be a bug in modultils. /lib/modules/[uname-r]/modules.dep is not generated correct. Remove /etc/modules/[unname -r] and /etc/modules.conf and run /etc/rc.d/init.d/modules. This will generate those files again. I'm working on that bug here at the moment. bye achim~ > > -- > Collins Richey > Denver area > gentoo system > > _______________________________________________ > gentoo-dev mailing list > gentoo-dev@gentoo.org > http://www.gentoo.org/mailman/listinfo/gentoo-dev
