[plug] Modules problem with PPC Debian machine

[Chris Caston]

I installed the kernel images from apt and I'll check exactly what it is
pointing to in BootX.

depmod -av

gives a whole bunch of failure messages (none of the things is tried to
check work)

Should I just reinstall the system or is there away to fix it?

regards,

Chris
