[ale] Help from kernel-mod gurus...

[da Black Baron]

Thanx to both you guys for the info.  Worked like a charm...  Of course,
I had to patch my 2.4.18 kernel up to 2.4.19 first, but that was as
simple as applying the final patch..

What I need to know now is how does one upgrade one's system  to refelct
the change from 2.4.18 to 2.4.19?  (i.e. make  everything  all cushy
like you'd just installed the 2.4.19 kernel from a distribution disk, so
that you've got your modules in /lib/modules/2.4.19, and your source
reside in /usr/src/linux-2.4.19?  Because after I compiled the new
kernel, freshly-patched to 2.4.19, and with the further patching done by
the .diff file discussed here, the new kernel kept complaining that the
mods in /lib/modules/2.4.18 were for the previous kernel image- and the
modules were obviously not updated since even if I linked 2.4.18 to
2.4.19 it still complained...  Hmmmm...

I'm off the the FAQ to see what I can gather on my own, but if anyone
knows a quick way to accomplish this, I'll be mucho grateful...
