Hi Geoff and all, I did "make dep" right after doing make config and before doing "make modules" and "make modules_install." Also if I decide to blow away my rc.modules file just for my peace of mind, then how do I generate one from scratch? I was also wondering ... the only file I downloaded is kernel-2.2.18.tar.gz. Should I have downloaded anything such as modutils? If so, then which version. Thanks for the help.
