 |
|
when i try to modprobe Tulip, i get:
FATAL: Could not load /lib/modules/2.6.5-gentoo/modules.dep: No such file or directory
I just did a fresh network install using the gentoo-sources kernel and followed the install instructions to a T. Any ideas? My kernel version is 2.4.26 |

After compiling the kernel...
| Code: |
make menuconfig
make
|
...etc
make sure you do a
| Code: |
make modules_install
|
had a similar problem myself
if not just double check you included the tulip mod in the kernel
hope that helps[/code] |

this is how you compile a 2.4 kernel.. a 2.6 kernel is slighty different..
after a make menuconfig
type
"make"
when that is finished type...
"make modules"
and then
"make modules install"
after that mount boot, then
cp /usr/src/linux-2.6.5/arch/i386/boot/bzImage /boot
i had a simlar problem saying...
"FATAL: Could not load /lib/modules/2.6.x-gentoo/modules.dep: No such file or directory"
i'd forgot to do "make modules_install" so the following link did not exist |

If you do "make" you don't have to do "make modules" with 2.6 kernel, because "make" does that by default.
To see a list of default targets for "make"
It will show "vmlinux, bzImage, and modules" are default targets. Since I use bzImage only, I typically do:
| Code: | | make bzImage modules modules_install |
