The end result are as indicated on the pastebin link. Even booting from my last-known working "latest" kernel (rc5) yields the same result. > > I usually use make allyesconfig.

However, I cannot seem to load any module (modprobe/insmod) without it spouting 'directory not found' messages. Before the dependency issue, modprobe works. I also checked the directory that should house the said modules and it looked fine to me. Right now I'm retracing my steps, incorporating the advice so far. I will update again after a few hours of my progress whether the new issue still persists. Eva
