kernel says "can't load module iso9660-nls" even when i compiled it into the kernel. i was having trouble kernel trouble getting a " failed to calculate dependencies " which i solved by running " modules-update " (for those of you interested it the said that my modules.conf was not generated automatically - which it really was - so i had to use the 'force' flag ) and that resolved my problems with the ntfs module and some other things but now this is my last remaining kernel problem... that i know of . i'm wondering it is caused by some of the carcasses from the previous kernel compiles. i'm wondering if there is a way to clean out the old stuff or if maybe the "clean" does that in the "make dep" step. any help would be aprreciated

i have gotten the failed to calculate dependencies errors, but it was because i forgot to mount /boot and run /sbin/lilo to refresh the MBR. here are the steps i do to compile a kernel.
| Code: |
cd /usr/src/linux
cp .config myconfig # this saves your current kernel config
make clean
make mrproper
cp myconfig .config # this puts it back in place
make menuconfig
## do kernel configuration here
make dep
make clean
make bzImage
make modules
make modules_install
mount /boot
cp /usr/src/linux/arch/i386/boot/bzImage /boot
/sbin/lilo # refresh my MBR
umount /boot
reboot

not sure what you have to do if you use GRUB (if you have to do anything). hope this helps you out. if that doesn't work drop another post.

With Grub. Just leave the /sbin/lilo part out. Grub doesn't need anything.
But I do recommend to copy the new kernel to ex. bzImage-test. And adding it to your
/boot/grub/grub.conf
file. If it fails you have the old one to boot up with and fix stuff.

yeah always remember to backup your kernel data before you upgrade it or a new one. there are some nice scripts for this under the FAQ.

i think i must have phrased my question wron then, because i haveno problem anymore with failingto calculate dependencies(that was solved with "modules-update force"). my question is why can't it find my isol9660-nls module went it was compiled into the kernel. then i asked if the files from the previous kernels were removed eachcompile or is bzImage the only actual kernel file per se?

My guess is that you are still booting one of your old kernels that does not have nls support built-in.
As previous posters have mentioned, this could be caused by forgetting to mount /boot or forgetting to rerun /sbin/lilo.
If you want to see when the kernel you are running was compiled, check the time and date given by this command :

well i checked and i am running the newest kernel (and i am using lilo for now)
i double checked and the actual module having trouble being loaded is " nls_iso8859-1 "
when i now run modules-update i get :
| Quote: | blackbox root # modules-update
depmod: *** Unresolved symbols in /lib/modules/2.4.21/kernel/fs/nfsd/nfsd.o

I seem to have the same problem:
kmod: failed to exec /sbin/modprobe -s -k nls_iso8859-1, errno = 2
that module is installed and exists:
/lib/modules/2.4.21/kernel/fs/nls/nls_iso8859-1.o
