problems with modules after kernel compilation
Hi,
I'm trying to install the new kernel 2.6.1. To do this, I already tried
every possible option, like compiling the kernel with the defaults values,
choosing a minimal configuration with make xconfig for my system, kompiling
the kernel with make bzImage or make bzlilo.
After this I always install the modules with make modules and make
modules_install. Theses commands seems to work since I don't get
any error message and after that the new directory /lib/modules/2.6.1 is
created.
The problem is now the boot process. After choosing the kernel with lilo the
screen gets blank for several seconds. In this meantime I don't get any
information about the system, but you can see that the hard disk is working.
The next I see is the login windows. At this point my USB mice doesn't work
correctly but my notebook touchpad does. After the login some hardware like
the soundcard or the network interface don't fork. Moreover, the command
lsmod displays just a few modules which seem not to be used. The command
modconf doesn't work either. After starting it I can only confirm the
starting windows
which cancles the program..
In my opinion the system has some problems with the modules. How can I
install them manually.
Or is there something else I could do.
Thank you very much for your answer.
A brief report about my system;
- at the moment I am using the kernel 2.4.22 which has been installed with
Knoppix 3.3 . In this configuration everythings works fine
- my computer is a Toshiba Satellite 2410-404 notebook.
Thanx.
Regards,
Paul
