How do I fix so the kernel > looks in the correct directory? The problem is not that the kernel is looking in the wrong directory, it's that it's loading the wrong modules. When /etc/init.d/modutils is run during boot, it loads the modules listed in /etc/modules. This is quite probably 'wrong' for one or the other of your kernels. I'm not aware of a solution to this, but it does seem the be a topic of discussion on debian-devel at the moment. > And a second question. Is there any arguments for using ext2 > instead of ext3?

As someone else explained, Woody uses a 2.2 kernel by default; 2.2 doesn't support ext3 out of the box, so it's not on the install kernel. If you install using the bf2.4 flavour of boot floppies you can create both ext3 and ReiserFS partitions. You can of course switch your current ext2 partitions to ext3 (man tune2fs) tho, so it's not that big a deal. -rob
