When I did my software update 021812 I must have cped the new /boot/kernel /initramfs files to /dosc but when I backed up the what I thought was the filesystem that I had just updated I must have backed up one that had not been updated. Consequently, when I restored that backup to my other linux filesytems, I did not have the latest /lib/modules.
