I've missed a lot of this thread, so if this isn't applicable, ignore me. As far as I know, that directory full of links has been there for some time in stock kernel packages. For example: [mfratoni@xxxxxx anaconda]$ ls -d /lib/modules/*/pcmcia /lib/modules/2.4.18-19.7.x/pcmcia /lib/modules/2.4.18-27.7.x/pcmcia /lib/modules/2.4.18-24.7.x/pcmcia [mfratoni@xxxxxxx slinky]$ ls -d /lib/modules/*/pcmcia /lib/modules/2.4.18-27.8.0/pcmcia /lib/modules/2.4.18-24.8.0/pcmcia However, on a Shrike machine: [mfratoni@xxxxxx SOURCES]$ rpm -q kernel kernel-2.4.20-8 [mfratoni@xxxxxx SOURCES]$ ls -d /lib/modules/*/pcmcia ls: /lib/modules/*/pcmcia: No such file or directory Even on my laptop, which uses pcmcia: [mfratoni@xxxxxxxxx mfratoni]$ ls -d /lib/modules/*/pcmcia /lib/modules/2.4.18-14/pcmcia - -- - -Michael pgp key: http://www.tuxfan.homeip.net:8080/gpgkey.txt Red Hat Linux 7.{2,3}|8.0 in 8M of RAM: http://www.rule-project.org/ - -- -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.0.7 (GNU/Linux) iD8DBQE+j6WVn/07WoAb/SsRApPiAJ4hMIULOs/xADfn/QM9TYBXMPF5SACgnkg6 doKMXAhMNijBFmtZ9JaHBMc= =UreY -----END PGP SIGNATURE-----
