    Thanks for your reply

    three followup questions:

    1) The page you referred me to recommends to install GCC 3.2. Why not
    GCC 3.4? FC3 came with 3.4, and my sources compiled fine with it.

    2) Can multiple gcc versions coexist on the same system? probably a
    stupid question... but what i mean is - coexist /happily/, without too
    much (ongoing) tinkering with environment variables, etc

    3) In my initial post i mentioned trouble with module version mismatch.
    My dmesg reports something like:

    version magic '<snip> SMP 686 REGPARM 4KSTACKS <snip>`
    should be:
    '<snip> SMP PENTIUMIII REGPARM 4KSTACKS <snip>`

    (note difference - "686" vs "PENTIUMIII")

    I can use the "-f" option to force modprobe to load them, in spite of
    bad version magic and "tainted kernel", but that sounds bad (am I
    wrong?)

    I assume the version magic problems are also consequence of the same
    gcc incompatibility discussed here. IOW - the fix above will take care
    of this, correct?

    thanks again
    andrew
