Re: [TCLUG:3733] modules won't load automatically

Hi
    This is a FAQ. For RedHat 5.1/5.2, when you compile a new kernel, you
need to do one more thing. After "make modules_install", do the following:
grep 'Linux version' /usr/src/vmlinux > ${MODULES_DIR}/.rhkmvtag
Where ${MODULES_DIR} is the directory modules installed(usually
/lib/modules/2.2.0 or somthing like that).
