Forget it. I know where it is now. I see that I needed to update e2fsprogs and procps, but that was tangential to the main problem: the modules wouldn't load. I recall this was posted earlier (by Jing Su) without much reply. I installed the latest e2fsprogs, and got the same problem. No drivers except what was already compiled in; no mouse; no sound. There was a complaint from modprobe about some function or other not being present during the boot sequence. The newer version of modutils didn't change or eliminate this error. e2fsprogs, FWIW, is installed in the latest version (1.35-WIP, whatever "WIP" means). I see all my partitions, so I would suppose the "WIP" part is unimportant in my case -- I could find nothing on the abbreviation. Subject: [TLUG]: Kernel 2.6 compile: Comaptability?

An earlier poster posed what was a good issue: that I ought to check my software for compatability with the kernel. OK, so I try to check, but the compatability list doesn't appear to be in its usual place. Anyone know where this stuff is?
