While we're on the jubject, I have a kernel question too. I'm currently running slackware 10.1 and a 2.4 kernel. I rolled my own 2.6 kernel, and although it mostly went as it should, all my modules seem to have a .ko extention rather then the .o extention, and so, for example when my sound card loads I get an error that the version is incorrect. How do I fix this, I'm sure I'm doing something wrong, or forgetting something obvious, but can't think what it is... I tried it before and got everything to work before, but don't know I did differently. Any help appreciated... thanks much. Cheereo! -- Email services by FreedomBox.
