I thought this might be the right area to post this. I have Gentoo up and running for 6 months now but this puzzles me.

I have recompiled my kernel several times (gentoo-sources). Now I wanted more responsiveness with ck-sources and kernel compiled fine and i booted with it.

Gentoo spits out the following lines many times during the boot. A have compiled the new kernel with all the options that I had with gentoo-sources and I can't figure out why it does that.

Code:

modprobe: Can't locate module i2c-sis645
modprobe: Can't locate module i2c-isa
modprobe: Can't locate module eeprom
modprobe: Can't locate module sis5595
modprobe: Can't locate module it87

What's in your /etc/modules.autoload ?
Did you configure those as modules in your kernel, or built in ?

My /etc/modules.autoload:
Code:

8139too
agpgart agp_try_unsupported=1
radeon


I didn't choose to compile any of those modules modprobe says it can't locate. I'm having the same problem with development-sources. It must be something that I'm doing wrong.

I did make modules & make modules_install

Hi,

I am also having these problems...

I compiled the kernel (gentoo-sources) and did the "mrproper shuffule"
and whenever I do

$modprobe epic100.o
modprobe: Can't locate module

I know it is there, I compiled it as a module, and I can see it sitting in the
modules directory...

Does anyone have any idea how I can get modprobe to find these modules??

ps - I have tried moving to the directory and using modprobe ./epic100.o
and also updating my PATH variable.

Cheers ;0)

modprobe the module name not the object file.

for example: modprobe epic100
