I think you have to, with another kernel running, run "depmod --basedir /lib/modules/version" pointing to where the new kernel version is installed. It probably also needs "--filesyms System.map"
Actually, we should be able to determine what a suse kernel does to create this file: the kernel rpm contains a POSTIN script to create depmod and initrd.
We were close :p It turned out to be: depmod -a --errsyms --filesyms /boot/System.map-2.6.32.13-1-default -n -v 2.6.32.13-1-default Just remove the 'n' when you have confirmed it does what you need in order to actually write the files to the new module tree. '-n'='dry-run'. The new kernel works great. The only lingering issue I have is that the fglrx driver will not build under it? Dunno? The Virtualbox drivers built just fine. I've dropped back to 2.6.25.20-0.7 until I can get the fglrx issue resolved. I have both kernels installed so it is just dual-booting for a while. At least yast was smart enough to leave my 2.6.25.20-0.7 module tree alone (even though it was stupid enough to delete both of my other kernels when I 'installed' the latest one today...) -- David C.
