Hi all

Yup you were right. Removed 'touch'...and still works well.  Thought it was needed because I always had to cd into the directory before I could load the module...

Will add $version just cause it't the right way to do it...but I really doubt I'll be compiling kernels on that machine (life is simply too short)....;-)

The machine will load the cdrom.o but not the sbpcd.o on boot....it seems to skip through the sequence too quickly for the mod to load.   Imagine that a 486 booting too fast..........

Later...G
