When I do a "depmod -a" it reports:
depmod: Unexpected value (20) in '/lib/modules/2.4.20-GB/kernel/drivers/ieee1394/sbp2.o' for ^^^^^^^^^^ Is that really what it says?
Yes that is exactly what it says.
There must be be something you aren't telling us--modutils doesn't suddenly downgrade itself.
No I told you everything exactly as it was. I had not made any system changes or installed any new applications for at least 10 days and this box is shut down every night and restarted every day, so the problem must have occurred in the session before the last shutdown. The only thing that comes to mind for that day, is that I did "inadvertently" try to start VMWare Express while logged in as root.
You can try moving sbp2.o to /tmp and running 'depmod -a' again but I think you have more serious problems.
Thanks very much, that did the trick, but I did have to run vmware-config.pl again to get VMWare Express working again. Again many thanks for your advice. Kindest Regards Dave
