Last night I decided to upgrade my RH 5.0 kernel to 2.0.35, so after
first trying to patch the kernel unsucessfully, I decided to get the
whole kernel tree off ftp.kernel.org (I decided against the kernel
update RPM cause I don't want to download ~9 meg every time I want to
update the kernel). Installed and compiled it no problem. However, upon
rebooting modprobe complained that it couln't find sound.o and a couple
of net modules, despite them being in the correct directory. From what
I've gathered RH uses a modified version of the sound driver, but how do
I in effect switch over to the standard kernel? Any help much
appreciated.

Cheers
Dave

did you do a depmod -a
I've found upon rebooting I get this sort of problem, but it is completely
resolved when the above commend is executed. I thought the ommand was
supposed to be run at boot-time, but if you make sure you've done the
depmod, you should be OK.
