Hello SUSE folkz, I just compiled 2.6.0-test9 Linux kernel and found very interesting and annoying things. 1. It boots up initially much longer than 2.4.xx version of kernels. 2. Modules in 2.6. kernel have extentions ".ko" vs. ".o" in 2.4 kernels. 3. I can't load any modules using modprobe in 2.6 kernel modprobe snd-cmipci modprobe: QM_MODULES: Function not implemented modprobe: QM_MODULES: Function not implemented modprobe: Can't locate module snd-cmipci I checked that snd-cmipci module exists as snd-cmipci.ko Could somebody tell me please if new 2.6 kernel is using different module loading mechanism than 2.4 kernels. And why module files extentions are ".ko" instead of ".o"? Thank you in advance for any help or sources of information. Alex
