Very Computer

I just finished re-compiling my kernel to 2.0.35. Everything works great
except that I get some sort of error message about net-pf-4 (IPX) &
net-pf-5 (Appletalk) when the system boots up.My boss keeps hounding me to
get rid of it (bit of a perfectionist)

When i do a "modprobe -c" i see them listed as "aliases" but i don't know
where modprobe finds this file ??? I tried /etc/conf.modules &
/lib/modules/2.0.35/modules.dep but no luck

Any ideas how i can stop the system from trying to load these two modules
???

Many thanks
Brett

Make a file '/etc/conf.modules' with the lines

alias net-pf-4 off # no ipx module
alias net-pf-5 off # no appletalk module

in it.

Shortly:

  "Edit your /etc/conf.modules file to include the following (2) lines:

  alias net-pf-4 off
  alias net-pf-5 off

  This will remove any error messages that appear during the boot process."
