2.4.0test7 and modules

[<fp...@zu...>]

fter the patches to mm -test7 boots again (for me). But I can't load
any modules, because they are installed in different paths than test6 and
earlier. I am using debian/potato, does the woody version of modutils
recognize the new modules paths?

Yup. 2.3.14 or later is needed AFAIK.

 So You are more lucky than me =o))) Can You please send me Your .config ?

 Today i tried to boot 2.4-test7 compiled with and without "PCI for Permedia"
in both cases it didn't boot. Unfortunately i can't check progress with
bootmesg or dmesg due to problems with Permedia display (i have to turn Amiga
off for a couple of minutes to get rid of them). This is somewhat strange at
first i suspected overheating problems  but CGFX logo looks perfectly ok
while 9 out of 10 times WB screen is heavily screwed (somtimes i'm able to
see some parts  of my X root) and amiga just hangs there. To add confusion i
now remember that after using 2.4test4 for some days (and rebooting a couple
of times) i had no such problems. Anyway soon i;ll add some fan/cooler on
Permedia and see if i can get any further with 2.4 =o))

 Michel gave You answer about version of modutils and allll i can say is that
this version is part of woody (which i'm using)

I feel guilty... I've been playing a bit with pm2fb, trying to get some stuff
from our 2.2 version back in, and I also had display problems the last time I
tried, and now I haven't had any time no more.

Please try reverting pm2fb to a revision before I broke it ;)

 You mean backporting from 2.4 to 2.2 or vice versa ? 
 with 2.2 i have this problem permanently (uptill now it was just inconvience
for me; right now it started to bother me as i can't check kernel progress).
With 2.4.0-test4 the problem was almost non-existant (and test4 was too
unstable for me to use <<my machine needs to be up 24/7>>)

 Did You changed anything between test7 and test4 ?
 (ok, i'll try to get sources of test4 and see for myself - looks like nice
experience with cvs =o)))

The latter. Unfortunately, our latest 2.2 version of pm2fb has never been
integrated into Linus' tree...

I haven't seen problems with 2.2, and all the problems I had were in Linux and
non-fatal.

I think so. Or maybe it's even changes from the bitkeeper import?

I think looking at the changes in pm2fb.[ch] should suffice.
