I built it and installed it, no problems. But modprobe is now broken, a major bummer. I run the latest nvidia (spit, but they work flawlessly anyway if I can get them to install) drivers on a GForce 9400 GT card. But modprobe fails and the failure echo shows that it has changed all the dashes in the kernel version string into underscores so the nvidia installer predictably fails. I'll modify all the dashes to dots and retry. Does anyone know what this BS is with modprobe? -- Cheers, Gene "There are four boxes to be used in defense of liberty: soap, ballot, jury, and ammo.
