I followed some advice to get my sys functioning better after installing and configuring the 2.4.10 kernel. However, when booting it "always" says that /dev/hdb3 (root partition) was not unmounted cleanly. It runs fsck "everytime", but of course it finds no files/inodes to fix (though it usually says it was something like 1.6% nocontigious). Also when at the end of the boot cycle, where it states setting up snd to previous config (or something like that) it states the the snd.o and about 5 other sound mods have unresolved issues. However, in KDE the sound works for all things, such as xmms, games, sound preview in konq, etc... And, when I run lsmod it shows that all the desired mods are loaded and running (and a few that I don't really need - but apparently cause no obvious problems). But when I run "depmod -a" I get a post of a long list of mods with "unresolved symbols". I had to re-install the "susewm" mod to get KDE working and I suspect I might have to reinstall a few other packages to rectify these problems. Anybody that can give me some advice or a "heads up" about this? TIA, Curtis
