Okay, but running with kernel 2.4.18-19.7.xsmp and having installed
kernel-headers-2.4.9-34
on a 7.2 box - gives me, when compiling the ISC ipmi driver from Intel,
an error-message when I try to do an insmod:

insmod ./imb
./imb: kernel-module version mismatch
        ./imb was compiled for kernel version 2.4.9-34smp
        while this kernel is version 2.4.18-19.7.xsmp.

The question is then where the 2.4.9-34smp originates from ?

Regards,

/Brian
