 Posted: Sun Mar 14, 2004 5:50 am Post subject: Installing 2.6.4: "Module mousedev not found" erro |
 |
|
I installed 2.6.4 on an old Pentium III and get this message at startup:
modprobe: FATAL: Module mousedev not found.
However my (USB) mouse works just fine.
How can I get rid of this message?
Where do I find the list of modules, that the kernel tries to modprobe at startup? I put in what i need at /etc/modules.autoload.conf/kernel-2.6.4, but seems there are other places where modules are autoloaded from too?

| The file is /etc/modules.autoload.d/kernel-2.6. This file should already exist. If not, do you have the actual baselayout? |

I have been getting messages like that for sometime now everythings been working so I havent gotta around to trying to track down the problem until tonight. Since I found this thread I won't start a new one.
I get the following messages myself:
modprobe: FATAL: Module hid not found.
modprobe: FATAL: Module mousedev not found.
modprobe: FATAL: Module usb_storage not found.
If anyone knows where these messages are coming or a thread with a anwser please point us there 
update:
after some digging around I found that this could be cause by hotplug runing early. So I check to see what version of hotplug I had installed it was hotplug-20030501-r2. Thinking that seems alittle old I check for a update and of course there was hotplug-20040105, I emerged that rebooted no more fatal messages for me.

I get these 2 messages:
FATAL: Module mousedev not found.
FATAL: Module input not found.
I didn't know what to do, to get rid of them.
Running:
gentoo-dev-sources-2.6.9-r13
coldplug-20040920
hotplug-20040923
And my system "should" be running with udev (at least I did specifiy --udev to genkernel, added it to grub and removed /devfs from /etc/fstab)
Any ideas how to fix this? |

Since I'm lazy genkernel should have done it for me.
I think the problem could be that I don't exactly know with CONFIG_OPTION in 2.6 kernels will create these two modules. |

In /etc/hotplug/usb.rc and /etc/hotplug/usb.handmap delete all references to mousedev
USB-dependant systems (iMacs, "legacy free" x86 systems, and so on) should statically link USB keyboard support into the kernel (USB core, EHCI/OHCI/UHCI/..., hid, input, keybdev; and likely mousedev) so the system console can't be removed by accident.
