Thank you Michel. If the module failed to load wouldn't that be reported by modprobe -v ? [root@tire /root]# modprobe -rv agpgart # delete agpgart [root@tire /root]# depmod -a [root@tire /root]# modprobe -v agpgart /sbin/insmod /lib/modules/2.4.9-31/kernel/drivers/char/agp/agpgart.o Using /lib/modules/2.4.9-31/kernel/drivers/char/agp/agpgart.o Symbol version prefix '' [root@tire /root]# I don't see where there is any problem reported with the module load. That might be because I don't know what to look for. Do you see a problem with what is reported here? Aside from that, rebuilding the Win4Lin enabled kernel would require downloding and installing the kernel patches from Netravers. I would rather not do that if there is nothing wrong with the existing kernel module.
