I don't know who's fault this is (but it's either kernel's or Redhat's (prob kern)): I recently installed 2.1.131 and set it to use the parport and the modular lp. My printer then refused to work (with errors). I was mystified until I took a second look at /etc/conf.modules. I found, to my shock and horror, that there were several major errors: the 'u' was missing from "uname" in many places. The first line said depfile=/lib/modules/`uname -r` instead of depfile=/lib/modules/`uname -r`/modules.dep
I think those were the only errors, but they were pretty big. I fixed them, and everything worked fine.
BTW, with kmod, does module unloading happen automagically, or do I have to go learn cron? -- David Feuer feuer@his.com dfeuer@binx.mbhs.edu Open Source: Think locally; act globally.
