Updating packages aaa_base, cron & groff for SuSE 6.3 I got the above message about /etc/modules.conf
Why does this happen?
The update installed a new modules.conf and saved your old modules.conf as modules.conf.rpmsave. If you've changed your modules.conf, compare the two for any changes you might want also in the new modules.conf.
Also, Kmod replaces Kerneld, but the default system has Kerneld running,
Nope, it doesn't. At boot time the init script /sbin/init.d/boot checks if the kernel has support for kmod (/proc/sys/kernel/modprobe exists). If it does, kerneld will *not* be started, even if rc.config has START_KERNELD=yes.
Is there any good documentation about Kmod? I know how Kerneld worked on 2.0.36 kernel systems but I do not fully understand Kmod and the SuSE 6.3 manual has very little on it.
If you've installed the kernel sources, see /usr/src/linux/Documentation/kmod.txt. Otherwise the contents of Documentation is available somewhere under /usr/doc (forgot the exact location).
