none of the modules loads

[robino]

Hi, not any of my modules want to load. When using the livecd, several modules load. But after installation none.

What I did is the following. I first used genkernel to compile my kernel (at my second attempt of installing Gentoo) , which did not load the modules that I needed (mouse, touchpad). Then I did it manually and undid all the steps in the manual for installation. I recompiled my kernel, used some .config files over the web which are relevant for my machine (ibook G4 1.2) and followed all the necessary steps to rebuild it and load it, updated yaboot, etc...

But still, no modules want to load. I did modules-update, I tried it with modprobe and 'make modules'. But nothing seems to work. Any ideas?

modprobe -ls
modprobe <modulename>
lsmod

Thanks for the quick reply. The problem remains though. ieee1394 for example is listed after I do the command: modprobe -ls

But after doing modprobe module name it says "Error Inserting ieee1394 (filename) invalid module format"

Any other ideas? hotplug and coldplug did not work either and are now disabled at root.

problem is kind of solved. did a clean install, and after some other issues with manually doing the kernel, i made several modules work.

The modules need to be compiled with the same compiler version as the kernel, if you do them with different versions they won't work.
