Re: rebuild kernel and modules
How are you guys compiling your kernel???
Why don't you 'just' config the thing and do:
make dep && make clean && make bzImage && make modules && make
modules_install
After that, simply edit your /etc/lilo.conf, run lilo and add your modules
using modprobe or insmod (you could also use modconf) and done.....
No package needed (except of course for gcc and all that....)
