OK, the 3 /lib/module/<kernel> dir permissions have me stumped as to why/how they could get different perms: drwxr-xr-x 4 root root 4.0K Jan 16 16:13 3.10.25-gentoo drwxr-xr-x 3 root root 4.0K Jan 28 14:52 3.13.0-gentoo-r1 drwx------ 3 root root 4.0K Feb 4 09:17 3.13.1-gentoo chmod 755 3.13.1-gentoo (that's fixed) cd 3.13.1-gentoo/ lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 28 Feb 2 04:37 build -> /usr/src/linux-3.13.1-gentoo drwx------ 4 root root 4.0K Feb 4 09:17 kernel -rw------- 1 root root 34K Feb 4 09:17 modules.alias -rw------- 1 root root 28K Feb 4 09:17 modules.alias.bin -rw------- 1 root root 11K Feb 4 09:17 modules.builtin -rw------- 1 root root 14K Feb 4 09:17 modules.builtin.bin -rw------- 1 root root 1.1K Feb 4 09:17 modules.dep -rw------- 1 root root 1.9K Feb 4 09:17 modules.dep.bin -rw------- 1 root root 52 Feb 4 09:17 modules.devname -rw------- 1 root root 577 Feb 4 09:17 modules.order -rw------- 1 root root 131 Feb 4 09:17 modules.softdep -rw------- 1 root root 16K Feb 4 09:17 modules.symbols -rw------- 1 root root 19K Feb 4 09:17 modules.symbols.bin lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 28 Feb 4 09:17 source -> /usr/src/linux-3.13.1-gentoo chmod 644 ./mod* (now that's fixed......... lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 28 Feb 2 04:37 build -> /usr/src/linux-3.13.1-gentoo drwx------ 4 root root 4.0K Feb 4 09:17 kernel -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 34K Feb 4 09:17 modules.alias -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 28K Feb 4 09:17 modules.alias.bin -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 11K Feb 4 09:17 modules.builtin -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 14K Feb 4 09:17 modules.builtin.bin -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 1.1K Feb 4 09:17 modules.dep -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 1.9K Feb 4 09:17 modules.dep.bin -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 52 Feb 4 09:17 modules.devname -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 577 Feb 4 09:17 modules.order -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 131 Feb 4 09:17 modules.softdep -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 16K Feb 4 09:17 modules.symbols -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 19K Feb 4 09:17 modules.symbols.bin lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 28 Feb 4 09:17 source -> /usr/src/linux-3.13.1-gentoo and viola, still the problem exists. All and I can think of is something in how the kernels are build (grub2)...? I even pulled the make oldconfig script redid every thing and I have the same problem. I'm scratcing my head on this, as google offers little useful, that I can find........... ??? James
