Hi Andrew,

You need to do a "make modules; make modules_install" after compiling the
kernel. I suggest that you "rm -Rf /lib/modules/2.0.27" before doing the
module make install. This way you get a clean module definition.
emember to do a "lilo" to link the new system to the lilo boot.

Great to see another une person on the web. I'm doing cs282 this semester
and cs284 next. If you need any further assistance you should also look
at http://www.slug.org.au and deposit your question to the slug mailing
list.

Cheers Grahame (gmkelly@zip.com.au + gkelly@turing.une.edu.au)
