PostPosted: Mon Mar 20, 2017 5:54 pm    Post subject: [SOLVED] Error loading modules? Reply with quote

This had happened out of the blue a few days ago when I found this in /usr/sbin/klogd:

^@^@^@^@^@Cannot allocate Module array.
^@^@No module symbols loaded - kernel modules not enabled.
^@Error loading kernel symbols - %s

How do I enable modules? I haven't touched them.

My system still works, but I can't introduce new hardware to my computer because of this.

How do I fix it?

EDIT: I also tried modprobe, and nothing happened and no modules.
Code:

  nano 2.6.3                                                                 File: /etc/conf.d/modules                                                                           

# Linux users can define a list of modules for a specific kernel version,
# a released kernel version, a main kernel version or all kernel versions.
# The most specific versioned variable will take precedence.
# FreeBSD users can only use the modules="foo bar" setting.
modules_2_6_23_gentoo_r5="ieee1394 ohci1394"
modules_2_6_23="tun ieee1394"
modules_2_6="tun"
modules_2="ipv6"
modules="ohci1394"
modules="usbcore"
modules="soundcore"

# Linux users can give modules a different name when they load - the new name
# will also be used to pick arguments below.
# This is not supported on FreeBSD.
#modules="dummy:dummy1"

# Linux users can give the modules some arguments if needed, per version
# if necessary.
# Again, the most specific versioned variable will take precedence.
# This is not supported on FreeBSD.
module_ieee1394_args="debug"
module_ieee1394_args_2_6_23_gentoo_r5="debug2"
module_ieee1394_args_2_6_23="debug3"
module_ieee1394_args_2_6="debug4"
module_ieee1394_args_2="debug5"

# You should consult your kernel documentation and configuration
# for a list of modules and their options.

If you disabled module loading support when you built your kernel, you won't be allowed to insmod any modules...?

I haven't touch the kernel configuration ever since I installed Gentoo...

All the modules I have are built into the kernel, but they stopped loading properly.

roboto ... in which case you don't have any modules to load. Also your /etc/conf.d/modules seems to be very much out of date, 2.6{{.23,},-gentoo-r5} being now antiques.

How do I update it then?

Besides... sysklogd is showing me errors on loading modules.

# emerge -avDuN /etc/conf.d/modules

These are the packages that would be merged, in order:

Calculating dependencies ... done!

roboto ... it's explained in that file:

/etc/conf.d/modules:
# You can define a list modules for a specific kernel version,
# a released kernel version, a main kernel version or just a list.
# The most specific versioned variable will take precedence.

For some reason you have the examples of how to do this uncommented.

You've just said, you don't have any modules, "all the modules [...] are built into the kernel". I suspect what has happened is you've built a kernel but not run 'make modules_install', but that is a complete guess in the absence of information.

Code:
# find /lib/modules/$(uname -r) -type f -name '*.ko' -print

I see... I have not typed make modules_install and I will update /etc/conf.d/modules.

Wish me luck on rebuilding the kernel.
