Got tarball of Linux Kernel 2.6.11.7, and compilled and installed it. Modules do not work. Tried to re-install tarball of faubackup but it fails too. How do I correctly install the Linux Kernel tarball, the faubackup tarball and the correct header files? If it is RTFM, which one do I read and where do I find it?
I agree with the other poster. If you installed the kernel The Debian Way(tm), then the modules would load properly. Install the kernel-package package and follow those instructions and the kernel should install fine.
My guess about not loading the kernel modules is that the module-init-tools package is not installed which the kernel-package will install automatically.
