That is the problem. There seem to be some issues with running a 2.4 kernel in potato. I actually have a 2.4.19-rc1 kernel on dovetail (running 2.2r4), and I have to manually copy in a good copy of modules.dep into place during every bootup for modules to work (well, that copy is now in my init scripts). As you are running potato, you should probably upgrade to woody (which handles 2.4 kernels properly), or use a 2.2 kernel. dovetail is only using a 2.4 kernel because of a corrupted 2.2 kernel, no network to it, I only have 2.4 source on hand, and it is awaiting upgrade to woody. -- Seneca seneca-cunningham@rogers.com
