Well, I assumed (and perhaps wrongly) that he'd done a 'make modules && make modules_install' after configuring his kernel, which would put the modules into /lib/modules/<kernel-version>/ for him. Had he not done this (or built a module himself/from 3rd-party), then yes, he should copy it to /lib/modules/<kernel-version>/ and run depmod -a. -ES -- Eric Sandall | (P)e-mail: sandalle@mail.wsu.edu Debian Linux Beowulf Cluster | (P)web: http://hellhound.homeip.net/ ICQ: 667348 | User 196285: http://counter.li.org/ SysAdmin, Shock Physics, WSU | (W)web: http://www.shock.wsu.edu/ -- Kernelnewbies: Help each other learn about the Linux kernel.
