Ken, what should I do now to make sure they are around? I guess at this point they are gone, correct?
Thx, Martin
Not necessarily. The kernel modules get installed in /lib/modules/2.6.x where x is the version number. So if you are compiling a kernel with a different version number, you won't have overwritten the old modules and should can reboot with the old kernel. If you look in the kernel Makefile, the fourth line reads EXTRAVERSION = You can change this to something else like EXTRAVERSION = -xyz Then the kernel modules will all get put in /lib/modules/2.6.x-xyz and its extremely unlikley that you'll ever get anything to conflict with them. You can even do this now and repeat the make bzImage and make modules_install steps. It is now possible to compile kernels, even with the same version numbers, that won't conflict with each other. So you don't need to move the old kernel and therefore can guarantee you have something that will still boot. -- JDL
