Robby,

   I had built and installed the 3.2.7 modules. What threw me off was seeing
the running of /etc/rc.d/rc.modules -> rc.modules-2.6.37.6 during boot.

   Am I correct that I can de-activate that call since the custom kernel has
the modules installed in /lib/modules?

   It's probably the incorrect modules that is causing the problem.

   Corrected rc.M.

   Looking at how to do this.

Thanks,
