The only problem with dkms (I've never heard about akmods) is that it doesn't build the module for the new kernel until you reboot. That doesn't help if you have a module that needs to be in the preboot (initrd). Imagine if you need a third-party disk driver module -- how would you solve that with a dkms or akmod solution? -derek -- Derek Atkins, SB '93 MIT EE, SM '95 MIT Media Laboratory Member, MIT Student Information Processing Board (SIPB) URL: http://web.mit.edu/warlord/ PP-ASEL-IA N1NWH warlord-DPNOqEs/LNQ at public.gmane.org PGP key available
