kernel modules autoload fails at boot [SOLVED].

[Dmanciel]

Hello all,
I have a strange issue and hope it is the right place to post for help...
I have a gentoo 2006.1 installation, built for 32 bit, on an AMD 64 X2 (32 bit is intentional). I compiled 2 kernels from the same kernel version with different names:
2.6.17-gentoo-r8Fred_1
2.6.17-gentoo-r8Fred_2, with different options. I only use the second one as the first one lacked options I needed.

The problem I face is the following:
At startup time, the modules service tries to load the set of modules I defined in the /etc/modules.autoload.d/kernel-2.6 file. None of the module can be loaded. The service fails for all of them.

Once I log, I can modprobe any of these modules (as well as others, btw) without any problem...

Anyone has an idea?

Thanks a lot.

Dmanciel,

I'll make a wild guess. You have /lib on its own partition ?

Please post the output of

Thanks for the answer!

However, /lib is not on its own partition. It is on the root file system.

Here is the output of ls -l /boot

OK, my mistake.
I did add the name of the module files in the /etc/modules.autoload.d/kernel-2.6 file, instead of the name of the modules themselves... Once the .o and .ko extensions are removed from the module names, it works far better...
