 Posted: Fri Jan 10, 2003 7:37 am Post subject: insmod...module not found |
 |
|
I recently grabbed the ATI drivers from ATI and followed through with the instructions and everything seemed to be working well. Unfortunately upon the next rebooting I was told the driver "fglrx" did not load. It was odd since it loaded manually when I first installed it. So I tried an "insmod fglrx" and was told "insmod: fglrx: no module by that name found"
What's odd, is if I go to /lib/modules/2.4.19-gentoo-r10/kernel/drivers/char/drm there is, in fact, an fglrx.o file!
But, if I am in that directory and run "insmod fglrx" it loads fine.
I've tried modules-update (or was that update-modules) and tried again, but no luck.
Does anyone have any ideas?

just a idea, not sure if it works:
| Code: | | insmod /lib/modules/2.4.19-gentoo-r10/kernel/drivers/char/drm/fglrx.o |

KLMs are loaded using the output from "uname -r"
What does "uname -r" give you? It should say "2.4.19-gentoo-r10". If it does then I'm surprised??

I think you want to use the modprobe command. It automatically searches through /lib/modules/<current kernel>, so you don't need an absolute path or the .o extenstion. For example, in your situation, you would just use modprobe fglrx.
If you want it loaded every time on bootup, just add it to your /etc/modules.autoload file.

Sorry for my tardiness in getting back...
int1: modprobe does not work for this particular driver, same problem as insmod, "can't locate module fglrx."
dazzle68: I ran that command and indeed received "2.4.19-gentoo-r10"
garo: this does work, I've used it before, but it annoys me that every single driver in my system loads just by typing, "insmod driver" except for the fglrx driver so I was hoping someone might know why. I imagine it is safe to put a path in my modules.autoload so I don't have to worry about this again?
