Looks funny. > I have only SuSE 7.2. > To see that i can't compare with your module_info file and the redhat system, a directory listing of my /boot directory. A regular SuSE 7.2 Distribution. A manpage for module_info isn't here. Apropos tells me nothing appropriate. Whatis tells the same. Whereis says module_info:. locate says locate: warning: database '/var/lib/locatedb' is more than 8 days old. (my mindcopy of /var, too) ... A Suse Distribution can't help you here. The modules.conf seems to be close to be correctly guessed, if module_info is not a binary. Edward
