If I forgot to update it before I booted a new kernel it was easy to log in as root, run the script and reboot. Unfortunately I am not using that script anymore and am not sure if I still have a copy of it anywhere. Here is a hint on making it work easily in BASH scripts : KERNVER = `uname -r` I am currently using an ATI card in that machine but only so that I can convert some .vcr files to mpeg2 in windows. Have a good day.
