Hello,

- I have installed the above and encounter that all aliases in 
/etc/modules.conf don't work with 2.4.65. The same system is ok 
with 2.4.21-pre5.

- Setups tried include RH 7.3 and 8.094, MDK 9.1pre.

- excerpt from /etc/modules.conf
 alias eth0 eepro100
 alias char-major-10-135 rtc

- Aliases can't be probed

modprobe eth0 
 Fatal: module eth0 not found
modprobe char-major-10-135 
 Fatal: module char-major-10-135  not found

- Modules can be probed:

modprobe eepro100
 (ok)
modprobe rtc
 (ok)

Driver works after restarting network


What did I miss? Thank you for your input

	Michael
