 |
|
I am on my third kernel now and I can't get any manually configured kernels to load modules. Genkernel made a kernel that did load some modules, but not my Tulip (nic card) or emu10k1 module.
I follow the install instructions to the letter and am still unsuccessful. I compile the kernel like this:
cd /usr/src/linux
make menuconfig
make dep && make clean bzImage modules modules_install
cp /usr/src/linux/arch/i386/boot/bzImage /boot
Then I add the bzImage to my grub.conf. Should I have an initrd image too? I know I did with genkernel and that was the only time the modules work.
If I try to modprobe anything, I just get unresolved symbols. |

did you recompile the externally built modules after you'd built the new kernel?
Also make mrproper cleans out modules I think. You might wanna give that ago |

Modules are located at
| Code: |
/lib/modules/<kernel version>/kernel/
|
Check that the modules you compiled are there.
And if you haven't already done it, try to insert dem manually with modporbe.
Check if you get errors.

Not quite sure how to do this. Can you explain? All I did was:
| Code: |
make dep && make clean bzImage modules modules_install
cp /usr/src/linux/arch/i386/boot/bzImage /boot

When I try to modprobe my nic card w/ the tulip module, it says Cant locate module tulip which doesnt make sense because it is located on my system and I have copied it to the directory you mentioned above. How can this be? Before I was getting errors when I tried to modprobe tulip. Stuff like unresolved symbols or something. Now it just says Cant find module.
Any other ideas what might be the problem?
