Ok, my question to you is this did you recompile the kernel? If so is your
card a module, is the module loaded? I had this problem once where for some
strange reason the link to my modules (the default RH rc.sysinit does that
ln -s $uname preferred thing) just wouldn't take so I just changed the else
line to point to the 2.0.35 (that was the current running kernel)
directory. After that no problems, though I have to ask what did you
update?
