Is hotplugging all that is missing?? That is not that bad ;-) I also screwed that up and do not know how to fix it. Howver I decided to live without it. Never use the floppy! Boot with your old kernel and everything should go fine. you have the old kernel config in /boot/vmlinuz.config, Did you get a copy of your old kernel?

OK I screwed up in an attempt to "optimize" a self-compiled kernel using Suse 8.2 pro. All works fine except hotplug fails to start. At this point I just don't have the time to learn how to diagnose and fix this. Sadly, before the recompilation I lacked the brains to backup the shipping 2.2.40-4GB modules. I have the original kernel.

How do I restore the shipping modules into /lib/modules?

TIA, Bernd

Simply reinstall the kernel from the dvd/cd. Probably, you should also reinstall patches downloaded by YOU. Next time, when you compile the kernel yourself, edit the makefile and put something on the "EXTRAVERSION" line, like your initials ("-BG", without quotes). This change means that your compiled modules will go to "/lib/modules/2.4.20-BG", leaving the original suse modules intact. Then, go to grub or lilo configuration, and make sure you have an entry to boot the vmlinuz.shipped kernel. -- Cheers, Carlos Robinson
