[SLE] kernel modules from 2 kernel versions
I've got SuSE 9.0 using kernel 2.4.21-202-athlon. The sources are installed. However, in /lib/modules the directory is 2.4.21-215-athlon. I think it happened after a YOU update or something. I realized it when I had modules stop loading properly. Creating a link called 2.4.21-202-athlon and linking to the *-215 directory got the modules loading again, but now I have problems when trying to make and install things like Nforce or ATI drivers. Any idea what has happended and how to fix it.

Did you reboot after installing kernel update? This is the root of your problem.

Creating such links is wrong. You better remove them.

You installed kernel 2.4.21-215-athlon and you are still running old kernel 2.4.21-202-athlon. There is no other way to replace kernel in memory than reboot. So reboot. Regards, -Kastus
