I read the two README files and started to try building the first one starting with "./configure --prefix=/" as directed. It said: /home/ndiamond/modutils-2.4.21-18/SOURCES/module-init-tools-0.9.11a/missing: Unknown `--run' option Try `/home/ndiamond/modutils-2.4.21-18/SOURCES/module-init-tools-0.9.11a/missing --help' for more information I tried that command for help. Indeed it says there's no such thing as a "--run" option. Looks like I lied. I don't know how to compile the new module utilities. One thing is interesting though. This configure script figured out that my cpu is an i586. By the way, the last line in that README file says that if this is all too complicated then install the source RPM. Gee thanks. I already tried "rpm --rebuild" but it assumes an i686. - To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-kernel" in the body of a message to majordomo@vger.kernel.org More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html Please read the FAQ at http://www.tux.org/lkml/
