Have you installed the devel package for smp ? what you dont seem to have is the extra directory which has the modules in. `/lib/modules/2.6.9-34.0.1.ELsmp/extra total 4452 -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 253721 Feb 25 14:21 pciradio.ko -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 225568 Feb 25 14:21 tor2.ko -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 167571 Feb 25 14:21 torisa.ko -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 150685 Feb 25 14:21 wcfxo.ko -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 212783 Feb 25 14:21 wct1xxp.ko -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 1349865 Feb 25 14:21 wct4xxp.ko -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 424162 Feb 25 14:21 wctdm24xxp.ko -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 273585 Feb 25 14:21 wctdm.ko -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 283670 Feb 25 14:21 wcte11xp.ko -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 185152 Feb 25 14:21 wcusb.ko -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 434341 Feb 25 14:21 zaptel.ko -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 140145 Feb 25 14:21 ztd-eth.ko -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 125453 Feb 25 14:21 ztd-loc.ko -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 104282 Feb 25 14:21 ztdummy.ko -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 135898 Feb 25 14:21 ztdynamic.ko ` ---

Hi What if any errors were reported when you compiled zaptel. Did you check the spinlock.h file ? Ian ---

Might be a known problem when zaptel Makefile tries to install modules to /lib/modules/[major version]/ instead of /lib/modules/[version]-[arch]/. See if you find an extraneous directory /lib/modules/2.6.9/extra/. (My recollection about zaptel 1.2.10 was that it actually installs into misc/ instead of extra/, so check that, too.) ---
