Re: Modules after kernel upgrade.
Hi,
When you configre a new kernel, (in the source directory, use
make config/menuconfig/xconfig), you need to install as modules (on
compile into the kernel) everything that you need (like the psaux
driver for your mouse). I generally copy the /boot/config-X.X.XX
files into /usr/local/src/kernel-source/X.X.XY/.config and make
incremental changes.
The modules are laoded in the order specified in /etc/modules
file (the auto keyword allows kerneld to trigger these modules on
demand). The modules must exist in the /lib/modules/X.X.XX/* subdirs,
of course, for this to work.
