hd install of 3.3 knoppix debian style here - since installing the nvidia drivers (and everything is working fine in that regard) I have a recurrent "theme" in errors upon boot up, the gist of it being:
Apr 11 18:43:33 ecs kernel: 0: nvidia: loading NVIDIA Linux x86 NVIDIA Kernel Module 1.0-5336 Wed Jan 14 18:29:26 PST 2004
Apr 11 18:43:33 ecs insmod: Note: /etc/modules.conf is more recent than /lib/modules/2.4.24-xfs/modules.dep

Apr 11 18:43:33 ecs insmod: Module nvidia loaded, with warnings
Apr 11 18:44:04 ecs modprobe: Note: /etc/modules.conf is more recent than /lib/modules/2.4.24-xfs/modules.dep
Apr 11 18:44:46 ecs last message repeated 4 times
Apr 11 18:44:47 ecs modprobe: Note: /etc/modules.conf is more recent than /lib/modules/2.4.24-xfs/modules.dep
this appears a lot, more than I think the knowledgeable folks here need to see. Since everything has been working fine, I have assumed noob rule number one: if it aint broke don't try to fix it. But, "Note: /etc/modules.conf is more recent than /lib/modules/2.4.24-xfs/modules.dep" appeared on my totally miserable failures to get lm-sensors going and I wonder if that's the problem. I am too linux-stupid to know if this error is anything to "worry" about, but could one of you experts explain it to me? If it is possibly the reason I am a complete failure at lm-sensor compiling, could you let me know how to fix it? Thanks for any assistance you may offer.
