For me the switch to 2.6.14 went without much problems and I did use module-rebuild. My modules are still there for 2.6.13-r5. Most of the problems were my own fault, I decided to cleanup my kernel config and deselected too much... Except for a problem with the owner-module for iptables, it no longer supports cmd-owner, pid-owner or sid-owner although the help still says it does, you have to look at dmesg to find out. But this is a minor problem which I'll solve when needed. So, enough of my ramblings they don't help you. Marc -- gentoo-user@gentoo.org mailing list
