I'm stuck with version 8.xx and 9.xx kernels of ubuntu. The loop module is built into these kernels so I have to recompile them. Do you have any idea how I could just compile the kernel image and re-use the existing modules? > Running kernel is named 2.6.31-14-generic #48-Ubuntu while a recompile from the sources yields some 2.6.31.4 kernel. Which command makes the existing modules under /lib/modules/2.6.31-14-generic available for use with the 2.6.31.4 kernel image? They shouldn't be much different and I'd like to have a kernel image for the live CD as well. Cutting out the loop module is the only change needed. Please give me a hint. Check if you have /proc/config[.gz] and if yes use that. Otherwise the "-generic"-String is stored CONFIG_LOCALVERSION (Second question in "General setup"). The '#48-Ubuntu'-Part should be unimportant. Bis denn -- Real Programmers consider "what you see is what you get" to be just as bad a concept in Text Editors as it is in women.
