Yes, if you compile kernel version A with the same *configure*options* as kernel version B, then yes. Some hooks have to be present in the kernel for some modules to work. You can't compile a kernel version without some modules and then decide to add the modules without recompiling a kernel.

What's so big in your kernel that you have to use bzImage ? Are you using modules sparingly ? Phil. -- TO UNSUBSCRIBE FROM THIS MAILING LIST: e-mail the word "unsubscribe" to [EMAIL PROTECTED] .
