module config in 1.1 install
I have recently installed the beta 1.1 release on 2 systems - a generic desktop
PC (486DX4/80) and an IBM ThinkPad 360 Laptop. The install is very smooth now.
However, I have not been able to configure modules for the kernel. I didn't
even notice the module config option when I first installed, and was wondering
where it got to. Then I spotted it later, but all of my attempts to install
a module fail. There is a series of messages about not being able to find a
module when I enter one of the subsections. Selecting a module for
installation gives a "uname" error (?), and then indicates failure of the
installation. If I try to "insmod" one of the modules, I get a complaint
about symbols for kernel 1.3.95 not matching the 1.3.95 kernel.
Finally, in order to get the builtin trackpoint device in the Thinkpad to be
recognized, do I need to specify one of the busmouse drivers at bootup (I think
the msbusmouse)???
TIA,
Gary
ps - these were "clean" installs. And there is nothing in the installation
notes about configuring modules.
