Then with a couple of commands you should be able to get it working. Use lspci (as root) to hear about the kind of PCI devices you have installed. > How do I generate a modules.dep file ? > Is modules.dep generated at boot time ? How does > modeprob work ?

Run uname -r to find out the current kernel version that is running. What were you doing with modprobe when you saw these errors? I would download the latest kernel rpm and update to that. http://ftp.uni-bayreuth.de/Linux/fedora/linux/core/updates/1/i386/kernel-2.4.22-1.2149.nptl.i686.rpm http://ftp.uni-bayreuth.de/Linux/fedora/linux/core/updates/1/i386/kernel-source-2.4.22-1.2149.nptl.i386.rpm download those guys and rpm -Uvf kernel* > Fedora couldn't mount this drive ! saying the kernel > does not support ext3 filesystem.

Do an lsmod before you do anything else after boot, you should see ext3 and jbd are the first two entries. if not then this problem is related to your other module problems, since in redhat ext3 support is a module. > something to do with run levels ? like at different > run levels, different modules will be loaded ? No, ext3 module should be loaded pretty much the first thing after the kernel is running. - -Andy - -- Find your answer without waiting for replies....
