I noticed something when I went to my bootlog to check my kernel 
version.  I got:

Inspecting /boot/System.map-2.6.8-24.11-default
Loaded 23895 symbols from /boot/System.map-2.6.8-24.11-default.
Symbols match kernel version 2.6.8.
No module symbols loaded - kernel modules not enabled.

How can I check if it is a modules issue?
 
I 'r kin of dumb wen it cums to colonial issues.  (And other items also, 
so I am told!)

Let me know what you think.
