kernel can't find any modules

[tooobi]

i have to use some modules to work on gentoo
(e.g.: nvdriver, khttpd, etc).

i can safely insmod them, but if i try modprobe, it says, that it doesnt find these modules.

> ls -l /lib/modules/2.4.19-r1/kernel/video
total 1024
-rw-r--r-- 1 root root 1067973 Apr 25 01:25 NVdriver

any idea, why this fails?

and yes, im running a 2.4.19-r1
alsa drivers can be modprobed.

Have you done a "depmod -a" ? Check the output after that from "depmod -n", is your module displayed?

Otherwise you should be able to force it by using existance by using /etc/modules.conf and /etc/modules.d/*. See man pages for modules.conf.
