hi

i wanted to load some modules but there's a problem with a few of them

it says that the module can't be found

example:

modprobe ide-cd

FATAL: Module ide_cd not found

any ideas what i can do? i'm fairly new to linux and gentoo in particular so a step-by-step solution would be most appreciated

Have you read the fine Handbook ?

You can view what modules are loaded in memory by typing

i've got a 2.6 kernel and i'm using a hp nx6110 laptop

and by browsing these forums i've stumbled upon this:
https://forums.gentoo.org/viewtopic-t-352288-highlight-hibernatescript.html

and this:
http://olivier.mondoloni.free.fr/indexnx6110.html

now what i'm trying to do is basically just that, getting gentoo to work properly with my laptop

now if i understood those pages right i need to load certain kernel modules:

ide-cd
snd-intel8x0m
b44
ohci1394
yenta_socket
snd-intel8x0

so i tryed to do that by typing modprobe <modulname>

and it worked fine with b44 and yenta_socket

but as i said before the others cant be found

sorry if i'm being a bit dumb but the replys so far didnt help me really
so thats why i posted a bit more now

Excuse me ?
If you dare to blatantly claim that my reply didn't help at all, then you did not read the link I posted.
Period.
