Nop. You need kernel sources 2.1.x to compile modutils-2.1.w, x >= w (perhaps not true with the latest 4? snapshots, haven't tried lately). You need kernel sources 2.0.x to compile modules-2.0.0, I don't know if it would work to compile them against 2.1.x. modutils-2.1.42 do work fine with 2.0.30, and AFAIKS (I'm not running 2.0.30 that much lately...) everything else does too.
I'd suggest 2.1.43 + pre-patch-2.1.44-3, it works OK at home (light WS load; just CSLIP networking; IDE disks: Mostly RedHat-4.2 + updates). 2.1.43, 2.1.44 are toxic; 2.1.45-pre? aren't up to snuff yet. -- Dr. Horst H. von Brand mailto:vonbrand@inf.utfsm.cl Departamento de Informatica Fono: +56 32 654431 Universidad Tecnica Federico Santa Maria +56 32 654239 Casilla 110-V, Valparaiso, Chile Fax: +56 32 797513
