I have emerged cdemu 0.8 but am unable to load the cdemu kernel module cdemu.ko. All I get is this error saying it can't find the module. I even tried giving it the direct location at /lib64/modules/2.6.19-gentoo-r2/misc/cdemu.ko and it still told me it could not be found! Any ideas on what is going on?

well, does the file exist there?

Yes the file exists. emerge throws it into /lib64/modules/2.6.19-gentoo-r2/misc/ and I've even downloaded the source and compiled it myself and copied it over but I still can't get it to be seen...

Seems to me that the cdemu 0.8 ebuild is deprecated because it just flat out doesn't work! I ran modules-update like you suggested and then tried to modprobe cdem but with no success. I also tried insmod on the module as suggested but only got:

It sounds like this problem - use the sed command from my ebuild.
