Link, ok

depmod -a wrote a error for the entire modules :
         unresolved symbols in /lib/modules/2.2.15-2.9.0/net/pcnet32.o

and, modprobe pcnet32 wrote,
         /lib/modules/2.2.15-2.9.0/net/pcnet32.o was compiled for kernel
2.2.15-2.9.0 while this activ kernel is 2.2.6-16bprep.

Now I think it's very strange that my system works in 2.2.6-16bprep (uname
-r) but the /boot directory contains the system.map and others for the
2.2.15 !!!

What is the problem ?

I got a error when installing : impossible to install bootloader. (there
was CS 1.1 before new install, on this same disk with the same partitions)

Re-thanks for helps
