Hi

Compiling Debian Woody I get one boot error I can't seem to get rid of

  Loading modules: af_packet modprobe: Can't locate module af_packet

If I understand correctly this is caused by:

	Networking options
		Packet socket
		Unix domain sockets

I had both of these compiled in the kernel,  I tried switching off Packet socket
but that didn't make any difference.

Obviously I can't switch of Unix domain sockets (unless I want a machine 
without any network - haha)

I don't know the error was there out of the box because at that time I hadn't 
worked out that <Shift><PageUp> and <Shift><PageDown> would let me 
scroll thru' the boot messages.

I know I'm missing something silly - so could someone please tell me what it 
is :-)
