(have to run this kernel or the machine doesn't boot :) ). # uname -a Linux spam 2.6.18-rc5ltd1 #12 SMP Wed Sep 6 10:45:02 EST 2006 i686 athlon i386 GNU/Linux > What version of module-init-tools are you using? # rpm -q module-init-tools module-init-tools-3.1-0.pre5.3 cheers, lincoln. _______________________________________________ linux-dvb mailing list linux-dvb@xxxxxxxxxxx http://www.linuxtv.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/linux-dvb
