Me = newbie so please be gentle...

When I login as my user, I get a ton of errors around this basis:

modprobe: cant locate module * which is needed in /dev/*

basically it looks like everything which is loaded at the beginning during the runlevels. Any help?

Also, during the runlevels, I get a couple of errors regarding /dev/rtc anyone know how to fix this?
Also, I just installed gnome, so how do I get it running... ?

For that rtc error, make sure you have Real Time Clock support enabled in the kernel:

CONFIG_RTC=y

I guess I forgot to enable that in the installation. Thnx.

Ill go ahead and post all of my problems, since well I have many:

during the loadup before the runlevels I get these errors:
1)kmod: failed exec /sbin/modprobe -s -k nls_iso8859 -1, errno=2
same with scsi_hostadapter, errno=2
[drm:drm_init] *ERROR* cannot initialize the agpgart module
hdc: set_drive_speed_status:status=0x51 {drive ready seek complee error}
error=0x04

ide: assuiming 33mhz system bus speed for PIO modes; override with idebus=xx <-- this right??
AMD_IDE: Bios didnt set cable bits correctly. Enabling workaround.
ds: no socket drivers loaded!

then theres also my biggest problem, which is all the modprobe errors about modules when I login with my username. Also, when I login to gnome, with my username, it errors with a logout under 10 seconds. Also I cant gain su access with my username. Help? Thnx!!

Ignore that idebus warning - it's actually correct and has nothing to do with UDMA100 or anything like that. 33MHz is correct.

If all else fails and you are using a 2.4.x kernel, use the genkernel script to build and install your kernel. And don't forget to modules_update after booting into the new kernel.

I had the "modprobe: cant locate module * which is needed in /dev/*" errors one time too. If I remember correctly, emerging metalog (or your system logger of choice) fixed it. I guess I forgot that step during that install. :oops:

Thanks! Had the same problem too (but only when logging in as normal user, root went fine). It turns out htat I emerged the logger, but forgot to add it to my startup scripts ...

So, I had exactly the same problem, and it was solved in exactly the same way. Thanks for the great advice.

My question is: is this solution masking the problem? Or does it actually solve it? Could someone explain why I was getting modprobe errors during a login?
