Kernel 2.6 compile: Comaptability?

[Paul King]

Forget it. I know where it is now.

I see that I needed to update e2fsprogs and procps, but that was tangential to 
the main problem: the modules wouldn't load. I recall this was posted earlier 
(by Jing Su) without much reply. I installed the latest e2fsprogs, and got the 
same problem. No drivers except what was already compiled in; no mouse; no 
sound. There was a complaint from modprobe about some function or other not 
being present during the boot sequence. The newer version of modutils didn't 
change or eliminate this error.

e2fsprogs, FWIW, is installed in the latest version (1.35-WIP, whatever "WIP" 
means). I see all my partitions, so I would suppose the "WIP" part is 
unimportant in my case -- I could find nothing on the abbreviation.
