 |

Well, the problem is as followed:
localhost src # modprobe nvidia
FATAL: Could not load /lib/modules/2.6.18-gentoo-r4/modules.dep: No such file or directory
localhost src # modprobe intel8x0
FATAL: Could not load /lib/modules/2.6.18-gentoo-r4/modules.dep: No such file or directory
I unmerged the 2.6.18-r4 kernel, yet modprobe still tries to load from this kernel, why?
I've remerged kernel 2.6.18-r5 a million times, if there's some config file I'm missing please point it out? What am I doing wrong? This doesn't make a lot of sense. |

rodidrepnu,
You may have unmerged it but you are still running it.
Modprobe finds looks for modules in /lib/modules/`uname`r/
Run Its probably showing you are not running the kernel you think you are.
gives more information, including the build date of the currently running kernel

Why didn't I think of that?  Oh well, we all learn at one point. Thanks for the help.
Oh and thanks for the speedy reply, I guess I would've figured it out after like a week or so, this saves me a lot of time. Anyway, thanks again.
Ah, now I understand why iptables wasn't working, it tried to load modules from a different kernel oh man I'm braindead this week. |
