I've got a 8.0 machine setup with a minimal install firewall, web, and such. recently I've been using it as my test machine. for varius vpn solutions. in so doing I updated at one point to kernel version 2.5.50. In order to do this I had to install the latest version of insmod. Thus far I have been fine booting both kernels. 2.5.50 and my 2.4.18 kernel. I just moved to a 2.4.19 kernel. but now when I boot I get a incorrect inmod version and that it can't find insmod.old. now the file is there and the older 2.4.18 kernel works fine. I did an uninstall on the new insmod version. however still no luck. The error comes up while trying to load my resier module. anyone have a quick fix.
Sounds like you installed the module-init-tools for the 2.5.xx kernel, I had the same problems on an 8.1 box w/2.5.63/64. & kernel 2.40.20/21 I solved by building all 2.5 would-be modules into the kernel, removing the module-init-tools and re-installing modutils (or modutils-2.4.22). In searching..., there was little information, I found one post that mentioned SuSE and the insmod.static file. ( but no solution ) Look in /sbin for insmod.static, I believe this is what shipped w/SuSE and could be the cause of the problem - perhaps try creating a sym. link from insmod.old to insmod.static, I have not had a chance to try this - so it may / may not work.
