The ...-0.9.12.tar.bz2 file is gone now, so I can't know if the README etc. has changed or not. Datestamps in module-init-tools-0.9.14/ tell me [A-Z]* have not changed since 2 June, except for the mostly irrelevant Makefile.am ChangeLog Makefile.in and docs/. > not yet checked to see if my upgrade > still allows me to build 2.4 kernels. module-init-tools-0.9.14 does let me build both 2.6 and 2.4, except when I boot lk 2.4 I have to say /sbin/modprobe.old rather than modprobe. > # ... on RedHat, one time only ... > ./configure --prefix=/ README etc. say configure this way only if your lsmod etc. appear in /sbin/. > make > ./depmod -V Works for me, I see: module-init-tools 0.9.14 > sudo make moveold > sudo make install > sudo ./generate-modprobe.conf /etc/modprobe.conf Works for me. > vi /etc/rc.d/rc.sysinit I now prefer: sudo vi /etc/rc.d/rc.sysinit +/USEMOD There I found: if ! LC_ALL=C grep -iq nomodules /proc/cmdline 2>/dev/null && [ -f /proc/ksyms ]; then USEMODULES=y fi So I added: if !
