This compile DOES NOT WORK because the sysv init system and the kernel module is SCREWED....(as hinted at in the docs). module.conf was invisible to the 7.0 system with a hand compile and the initiation system was screwed with the RPM's...problbly secondary to PAM or the location of the files?
I use 2.4.x on a 7.0 system. I had problems with the VIA chipset, but none from the init system. People's hardware varies a lot, what may work you/me may not work for me/you. I don't recall seeing exactly what was your problem. I've just seen a lot of complainig maybe from you or some other people. Why don't everybody cool off and start over. Can you describe exactly what problems you had, error messages, etc. That is the best way to get this resolved.
AND BTW - mod-ulits? Where waas that under the 7.0 tree in yast?

YaST does not show symbolic links, which are what those other packages are in that directory. Use an ftp session to retrieve them and install them. I've raised this same issue about sym links in the suse bugtrack website and the response I got was that they'll fix it in the future. -- Rafael
