Some or all modules?
Only on some modules (sound modules and nvidia glx, which I don't really need on the servers, but it annoys me that there's ANY module that doesn't work.)
Did you make new modules and did you installed them? (make modules; make modules_install) ??
Sure ;)
There's some other strange thing: When I recompiled 2.4.0 (from lx_suse) the module's directory was /lib/2.4.0 (after that, glx didn't complain about wrong kernel version anymore), after recompiling 2.4.2 it's 2.4.2-4GB. Both's kernel compile options where the same regarding the memory.
I ran into the problem when I had to disable the VIA chipset driver in my kernel. The source did install modules into the 2.4.0-4GB directory, but the modules were for kernel 2.4.0. I have "solved" this problem by changing the version string in linux/include/linux/version.h to "2.4.0-4GB". After recompiling and installing everything it was then working without problems. I already have transferred the new kernel 2.4.2 to a CD-RW and will try it this evening. I am already prepared to re-install ALSA from source due to the version number...
