    Hi,

    I upgraded my unstable system from kernel 2.4.25 to 2.6.4.
    I still have a couple of minor problems.

    1. After the kernel has booted and init is running when modprobe is
    trying to insert drivers it is complaining all the time about a whole
    list of drivers which already have been loaded. This is true but I don't
    see why modprobe should complain all the time and produce a list of
    around ten drivers which already have been loaded. So I guess there is
    something wrong with my setup. Should I install more stuff then the only
    the kernel image? For the 2.4 kernels for example there is the package
    kernel-pcmcia-modules and I run Debian on a laptop with PCMCIA and a
    wireless card.

    2. Just after loading all the modules the screen dims and characters
    turn from white to dark gray, which is very hard to read and all my
    virtual consoles are dimmed.

    Thanks

    Jaap
