I am having problems installing several drivers which req kernel modules. specificly IPW3945, ati x1600 mobile video, and madwifi. they do not want to install correctly, i think its because boot is read only but i could be wrong, i followed the instructions for usb install on a 8gb usb thumb drive with encrypted partitons. if anyone can give me some hints, i would appreciate it thanks!

re: Kernel upgrade, Kernel modules not loading, need a soultion.
If you're using apt-get to install the kernel upgrade, etc. it will automatically make /boot writable just before the upgrade.
If you're installing from source packages then you will need to do it yourself. Just do:
mount -o remount,rw /boot
Just before you run make install.
That should be it if /boot being read-only is the problem.
Good Luck.
