Thanks for setting me straight :-) Clearly I need to do more reading, but the websites I've been looking at never seem to spell all this out in explicit newbie-proof steps. You get a piece of the picture in one place and another piece somewhere else. I've started working through http://www.tldp.org/HOWTO/Module-HOWTO/basekerncompat.html. I note this actually tells you to force insertion of a module even though it was compiled for a different kernel version (!) (something Jari will probably disapprove of!) (chpt 6): " ..insmod has a -f option that "forces" insmod to ignore the kernel version mismatch and insert the module anyway. Because it is so unusual for there to be a significant difference between any two kernel versions, I recommend you always use -f." ____________________________________________________ Yahoo!
