 |
|
Hay.. I am having a problem I think with my modules not loading. On boot there are a couple of errors, something about a global file and not being able to start local ?? I will double check that.
Then once the computer has booted at first I noticed nothing different apart for gensplash was not up. Then when I try to print something I have noticed that /dev/printers/ is missing along with /dev/lp0.
I have tried swapping the kernel for an older backed up one but that made zero difference. I do not remember doing anything specifically before it happend, but as I said it took me a couple of days to care about the problem. When I boot and login then lsmod there is nothing there.
I have searched through dmesg for errors and find none, not even the ones that came up during boot.
If anyone can give me a clue as to what I may have done I will appreciate it.
Thanks
-John |

Couple things:
Did you forget to do the | Code: | | make modules_install |
step? I have a tendency to do that from time to time, and that can cause some issues obviously 
Another thing to try, is after you edit your modules.autoload.d/kernel-2.6 file. I know there's also but I'm not totally keen on what/how it works. Anybody who knows, please chime in

does make modules_install take part in building the bzImage or does that do work elsewhere? Because it is the same in kernels I compiled earlier.
I will give these things a go anyhow, I'll let you know what the outcome is

I think you hit is smack on the money with that one
Thanks alot. Maybe I should watch my compiles rather than just | Code: | | make && make modules_install && mount /boot && cp arch/i386/boot/bzImage /boot ; poweroff |
Cheers |

Don't forget | Code: | | cp System.map /boot |
either! That's important as well.
