I downloaded kernel version 2.1.93, and after installation and =
rebooting, I get this message when I run rc.modules:

I've done "make modules ; make modules_install". I've run 2.0.33, =
2.1.89, 2.1.90 and 2.1.91 previously without this message. I looked in =

Lastly starting with 2.1.91 screen updates are really slow, like video =
and system BIOS shadowing was turned off, but wasn't.
