It has nothing to do with which kernel that distribution uses. But it requires sufficiently new utilities, as some interfaces (especially the module one) have evolved and the tools evolved with them. What utilities are needed is documented in Documentation/Changes in the kernel tree, as always. > Can anyone tell me howto update modutils to make the things work? > I will first try to update modutils and see.if it is not working then i > will switch over to a distribution based on 2.6.x kernel. The modutils for 2.6 are now called module-init-tools. If you can get hands on a package for your distribution, it should be crafted so it calls to modutils when 2.4 kernel is running, since the old modutils package is still needed for that. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Jan 'Bulb' Hudec <bulb@xxxxxx>
