New to the Debian distribution, like it so far. Small problem with modules and such right now.
I just finished compiling & installing my own kernel using the kernel package. Perhaps there were some path dependencies the packaging util was looking for, but there were no error messages I noticed. I extracted the potato kernel source into /usr/src/kernelfun/, a directory owned by user, say 'joe'. As 'joe', I untarred the archive and followed the fakeroot, etc. instructions. Using xconfig, I told it to build with the module loader. I also specified several features to be supported as modules (like sound support, since I have a PNP card & need to set them up with pnp before loading the module). After istalling with dpkg, I rebooted and was told it could not find modules parport_pc, serial, and ppp, which I see /etc/modules is telling it to load those. Using modconf, it tells me the modules are available, but I have no idea (yet, I'll do some looking) where it's looking to find them. Do I need to add kerneld manually to my init sequence? Shouldn't installing a kernel package that has that option automatically add it to one of the rc files? Just wondering if that should be a 'bug' or it's expected. Thanks, Bruce
