Ahhh. thanks gary. I knew it was something obvious.

make modules_install populated /lib/modules (like you say, you can't just take a new bzImage and put it on a CD). But all of the modules installed under /lib/modules/2.4.21-openmosix-1

So if I delete the old modules directory:

Code:
rm -rf /lib/modules/2.4.21-xfs
then move my new modules dir to the old name:

Code:
mv /lib/modules/2.4.21-openmosix-1 /lib/modules/2.4.21-xfs
I'll try it out and let you know. Now the other problem is why my boot.img isn't being read from the CD...

[edit 9:26] The openmosix-1 reference comes from the kernel Makefile.

EXTRAVERSION = openmosix-1
