I believe that you can still build with gcc-2.95. To the best of my recollection I did do that at least once... although I've been using 3.2 for the most recent builds. The new modules (*.ko) do not work with the old module utils. It may be that you just have to rebuild the kernel with the presence of these new utilities. $ apt-cache show module-init-tools Package: module-init-tools Priority: optional Section: admin Installed-Size: 292 Maintainer: Christopher L Cheney <ccheney@debian.org> Architecture: i386 Version: 0.9.11-1 Depends: libc6 (>= 2.3.1-1) Conflicts: modutils (<= 2.4.21-1) Filename: pool/main/m/module-init-tools/module-init-tools_0.9.11-1_i386.deb Size: 57682 MD5sum: 02a3792d3557590cba978d82aa40383b Description: tools for managing Linux kernel modules This package contains a set of programs for loading, inserting, and removing kernel modules for Linux (versions 2.5.48 and above).
