I thought that the linux kernel didn't support modules for ppc, at least not for the 2.2.5 kernel which I got from the linuxppc.org site. It is the embedded-2.2.5 kernel put together by Dan Malek. I assume that the newer version do support modules. Is this true. Would this be true of all ppc targets such as 860, 8260, etc or is it just for common workstations like PowerMacs, etc ? What kernel versions support modules on ppc ? Brendan Simon. To unsubscribe, send "unsubscribe mtd" to majordomo@infradead.org
