That's good to know.Although, I think that there is an issue. I get a series of "'modules.dep' file not found"-type error messages early on boot. I have been wondering if it is something I have done wrong, or there is something wrong with the build process. The system still seems to run perfectly well after the init process completes. I only get that message when I build a custom kernel. A kernel image from sid installed through apt boots fine.
This may not be an AMD64 only issue, thus OT. Am I missing something? Mark Allums
