Hi,

I'm new to Debian and am considering switching over from Mandrake. I
have a test installation installed just last week (woody network
install) that was working well. I easily upgraded it to KDE3.2 and then
attempted an upgrade of the kernel to the latest stable for woody
(2.4.18 IIRC). Anyway, I started out the kernel upgrade with a single
 is still loaded automatically, but I do get a warning that my
/etc/modules.conf is newer that my blah-blah-blah.dep file several times
during the boot sequence. Sorry - don't remember the file name.

Any ideas as to how I should proceed from here would be very gratefully
received.


Hi There,
Sounds like you did not rename your modules before proceeding with the
installation of a new kernel image of the same version. Is this the
case? if so you should rename your old /lib/modules/2.x.x tol
/lib/modules/old2.x.x. this will allow the newer kernel to access the
correct modules hope this helps bye for now syl
