I have compiled kernels many times but it has just occurred to me that after compiling and installing the new modules they are now running under the current (old) kernel until the new kernel is booted.
How long could this situation go on without causing problems? Would it cause problems at all?
Same kernel versions? That could be the answer. Check the Makefile in /usr/src/linux VERSION = 2 PATCHLEVEL = 5 SUBLEVEL = 70 EXTRAVERSION = -mm6 Take mine for example, the extra version is useful to build seperate kernel and modules. If this isn't what you are looking for then I'm going back to work ;) -- (o_ - Craig Butcher //\ - IT Technician / Unix Support MTH/ENV @ UEA V_/_ - http://www.wizball.co.uk
