I get the same effects when I really boot the disk, or if I chroot() into the directory which will later get imaged to disk: I can load and unload modules (with insmod, lsmod, rmmod, modprobe), but it looks like they never get initialised. I know for shure that some modules should write something to syslog or the console, delay a bit (esp ide-probe-mod), and, last but not least, provide a device or something. Nothing of this happens. Well, something happens after a few tries: it ooopses... What's happening here? I can provide any info you like or need. bye, Michael -- netWorks Vox: +43 316 698260 Michael Reinelt Fax: +43 316 692343 Geisslergasse 4 GSM: +43 676 3079941 A-8045 Graz, Austria e-mail: reinelt@eunet.at
