Many thanks for your reply.

Sorry that was a typo.  I had actually replaced the module in /lib/modules/2.4.22/kernel/fs/coda.

I only have an /etc/modules.conf.  This contains the following entries:

alias char-major-67 coda
alias /dev/coda coda


Not sure what happened but I tried the following and it venus now seems to work.

rmmod coda

insmod coda

(returns: Using /lib/modules/2.4.22/fs/coda.o)

service venus start

This time venus loaded fine.  Thanks for your help.  Next step is to try and get my head round the realms business, but that\'s for the new year since I finish work today.

Once again many thanks

Paul
