Scandisk

Hi Rodney, When I upgraded my kernel on slack8 I had the same errors, I had
to go back and after I issued the 'make' command I had to issue the 'make
modules' then the 'make modules install' that seemed to clear them up. Hope
this helps and if it has already been solved sorry for the repost. :)

Jon

Hi Warren,

I tried upgrading to the 2.4.7 kernel. I'm using Mandrake 8.0 and I used the
software manager to do the upgrade, well it upgraded the kernel and when I
re-booted, I got quite a few error messages saying that modules could not be
be found. I got to log in and things seemed to run normally. (ex. KDE took
like 10 seconds to load instead of a minute). How am I supposed to get all
those modules? Booting up with the 2.4.3 kernel was okay, do I have to
re-create the modules or something?

Thanks,
Rodney
