Re: Module problems after 2.4 upgrade

I'm not familiar with the process of or need to relabel that directory. After compiling the kernel to a floppy disk I did "make modules" and "make modules_install", which both seemed to work. I'm a bit boggled as to why the system then can't find the modules when it can if I simply remove the floppy and boot from the non-SE kernel. In other words, the configuration files haven't changed.

Thanks for the suggestion though,
