Well, things are slowly coming together. I can boot into the new kernel, and the kernel no longer complains about missing functions. But it wasn't straightforward. It looks as though the module utilities depended on an older version of modutils, with their executables renamed to .old. Second, the default installation for these new utils was going to be under /usr/local/sbin. And if it went to /sbin, it would clobber all files in its path without renaming them with .old extensions first. So that had to be done by hand, using mv.
FWIW, I've been running a Debian Unstable system with a 2.6.0-test11 kernel and been having no problems with system utils[1]. This is a workstation, servers are staying at 2.4 for the forseeable future. [1] xosview is broken but this is hardly a game-stopper for me :) Interestingly it "runs" fine but fails to display at all. It'll happily sit their monitoring the system & displaying nothing indefinitely. Rob -- Robert Brockway Senior Technical Consultant, OpenTrend Solutions Ltd.
