Also, try running depmod -a

chmod +w /dev/null. It should be crw-rw-rw- -- it is standard to
redirect output from a program to /dev/null when you don't want
that output.
I would try the comp.os.linux.setup and comp.os.linux.misc newsgroups
for these kinds of questions. You can also email me if you don't have
a USENET connection.
