Before I build i do: PATH=/usr/local/modutils/sbin:$PATH
Therefore it must be reading it first, sorry I should have mentioned this... just have done so much to try and get it to work I can't remember it all :)
In response to Willy's post, yeah it was by hand, i can't get that comp on the network yet :(
I will answer all your detailed questions and rebuild the kernel, but it didn't have any revisions after names, I'll rebuild with that exact .config i posted after a make clean mrproper to ensure its installing the new kernel. Then I'll also try disabling modversion.
Thanks! George
