ok, so modules.conf is created by a call to update-modules. suppose i compile a new kernel. where along the process is conf.modules updated? all i ever see 'make modules' do is compile, and 'make modules_install' simply moves stuff around. surely, this file has to be modified when you compile a new kernel?
also, why only one file? most people have 2 or 3 kernels laying around, and sometimes very different ones (i have 2.2.17, 2.2.17-nosound, 2.4.0 and 2.2.16). wouldn't it make more sense to have one for each kernel? pete
