Re: Module depencies



Quick guess (not necessarily accurate): your new kernel tries to load old
modules. Did you do 'make modules_install'? To be sure, rename (rather
than remove) old modules tree (/lib/modules/2.4.18) and make
modules_install. It should be OK then.

It's also handy to customize EXTRAVERSION in Makefile on top of your
kernel source tree before compilation; your kernel version and modules 
directory will then show 2.4.18{EXTRAVERSION}. This allows you to have
multiple kernel/modules builds with the same source version, easily
distiguish them and reduces risk of overwriting kernel/modules.

Adam
