I have recently installed the beta 1.1 release on 2 systems - a generic desktop PC (486DX4/80) and an IBM ThinkPad 360 Laptop. The install is very smooth now.
However, I have not been able to configure modules for the kernel. I didn't even notice the module config option when I first installed, and was wondering where it got to. Then I spotted it later, but all of my attempts to install a module fail. There is a series of messages about not being able to find a module when I enter one of the subsections. Selecting a module for installation gives a "uname" error (?), and then indicates failure of the installation. If I try to "insmod" one of the modules, I get a complaint about symbols for kernel 1.3.95 not matching the 1.3.95 kernel. Finally, in order to get the builtin trackpoint device in the Thinkpad to be recognized, do I need to specify one of the busmouse drivers at bootup (I think the msbusmouse)??? TIA, Gary ps - these were "clean" installs. And there is nothing in the installation notes about configuring modules.
