[lug] Kernel 2.4.0

[John Hernandez]

Thanks.  After updating modutils and re-installing the 2.4.0 modules
tree, everything seems to be working fine now.  I even got sndconfig to
work by updating to the sndconfig RPM from the RH 7.0 release.  One
difference I found was that depmod (and the new sndconfig) wanted to
abandon conf.modules in favor of modules.conf, which necessitated an
edit of /etc/rc.d/rc.sysinit in the sound modules section (where it
greps the conf.modules file to determine the driver alias for sound).

Still no ideas about the intermittent X startup problem.
