Hi,
The easiest way is probably to do a "make mrproper" in /usr/src/linux and roll your own kernel. If you believe that your kernel source tree has been compromised, delete the /usr/src/linux, re-install the source tree from the 6.3 cd, and roll a kernel.
Should /usr/src/linux be a symlink to the current kernel source, or should it be a 'real' directory containing the current kernel source? Cheers Phil

I have just started trying to use WAV files in KDE and the play but very 'stuttered', it plays a brief part of the WAV and then there is about half a second silence, then the next part of the WAV is played
Thanks to all the help so far. I was investigating the suggestions and made a discovery. I had recently upgraded from 6.1 to 6.3, and as everything seamed to be working (NIC, Modem etc, CD Player etc.) I assumed that the upgrade was successful. But after trying to change the IRQ of my sound card, I noticed that for some reason I was using the latest kernel modules (2.2.13), but for some reason the kernel was still version 2.2.5. Further investigation of the install log showed that on several occasions the upgrade had an error...
"rmdir /usr/src/linux cannot remove symlink" (or something like that)
A quick look at /usr/src/linux revealed it was not a symlink, but a real directory containing 2.2.5. So I reckon it recompiled that version instead of the new version.
I am not sure if this is the cause of the sound card problem, but it needs to be sorted out.
What is the easiest way to fix this?
I thought of deleting the 'real' /usr/src/linux, and replacing it with a symlink to /usr/src/linux-2.2.13, then rolling my own kernel..
Or could I just re-do the update from the 6.3 CDs...
Any suggestions?
Cheers
Phil
