modprobe failures after 8.2 install
I've just moved from a fully-functional 8.1 to 8.2 (clean install)
and am now experiencing some module-related weirdness. At boot time,
modprobe issues numerous errors of the form

modprobe: Can't open dependencies file
/lib/module/2.4.20-4GB/modules.dep (No such file or directory)

leading to inaccessible soundcard, inability to start up PPP, failure
to detect USB printer, etc.

Looking in /lib/modules, I see a directory 2.4.20-4GB-athlon, rather
than the 2.4.20-4GB that modprobe is clearly expecting.

Anyone else experienced anything like this? Can anyone suggest a fix?
I've tried reinstalling with acpi=off, in response to a suggestion
from SuSE support, but the same problem occurs.


Nick
