Beyond this it seems to > be working, can anyone help me correct these problems? The script is bad advice. Don't use insmod, use modprobe. modprobe solves a module's dependency chain and pulls in required modules where insmod would fail. Read the manual pages "man insmod modprobe". Don't load modules manually which would be loaded automatically. Except for ip_conntrack_ftp, there should be no need to load the other modules manually. -- Fedora Core release 2 (Tettnang) - Linux 2.6.8-1.541 loadavg: 0.08 0.14 0.09
