Yes, I think you are probably right, and those might be the modules or left-overs, from a previous build, but isn't make modules and make modules_install supposed to take care of that? I have never heard that I have to manually remove the previous modules directory before doing modules and modules_install. Is this wrong? Thanks again, Ramon <p>On Sun, 05 Nov 2000, zentara wrote:

Dear All,

I was rebuilding my kernel (to add firewall support); this is not the first time I've done it, but it is the first I notice a few strange things.

So it seems that ppp and serial are being loaded as modules!!! (in spite of having compiled a kernel with built in ppp, and having set ---unknowingly--- the serial support to no). I wonder what other weird things are going on.

(By the way, if I look into the just created /lib/modules/2.2.13, there seem to be there lots of unused, unrequested things!)

What is going on here?

Maybe those are old modules from the previous 2.2.13 kernel? Try deleting the old modules before doing the make modules_install.

Also, I seem to remember that the help options in the kernel for 2.2.13 states that the ppp compression modules are built as modules regardless of what you specify.
