All, To make a long story short, I tried to upgrade RH8 to Fedora CORE upgrade but booting CORE gives me module loading errors (out the wazoo). The CORE kernel is being booted but /boot/map seems to be pointing to old RH8 module info. So the /boot/map file is not being updated. Ok, so when I run lilo hoping to update this map somehow, I get a Fatal error because it claims the map info doesn't exist (the file does exist and I get the same message if I remove the file.... yes lilo.conf does specify the right path). So I can't rebuild my map file. I feel certain that if I could do that then the kernel would boot with the correct module info. Is this the right approach? -- John
