Another point guys for module loading. The new modprobe uses /etc/modprobe.conf not /etc/modules.conf. The syntax appears the same so a "cp" should work. THIS FROM THE KERNEL MAILING LISTS. JohnC


You should use "/sbin/generate-modprobe.conf /etc/modprobe.conf" to generate
modprobe.conf form your /etc/modules and your /det/modules.conf.

Right now I can boot into 2.6.0-test1 with devfsd if I pass
"boot=/dev/discs/disc0/part3" in the append line, besides having it set in
lilo. Don't ask me why this works... My problem now is konsole failing to
load, and the touchpad (a synaptics one) not working... A strace konsole
should help on the fist problem, on the second I have no idea, because a
/dev/psaux exists.

Yeah, I found /sbin/generate-modprobe.conf after my last post. I have also had the konsole failing to load. It loads and then disappears. After I did a complete reinstall(copied my working system partition to a "2.6.x partition") and resetup 2.6.0-test1, konsole is OK. Note the the new install is all compiled with gcc 3.2.3 while I had rebuilt the the previous 2.6.x partition with gcc 3.3.0. I had all kinds of problems with the 3.3.0, many spells would not compile, some due to 2.6.x kernel headers and some I guess because of gcc 3.3.0. I am staying with 3.2.3 for awhile, and not rebuilding with the 2.6.x kernel, just playing with 2.6.x until the official release.
