Re: Moddep -a and Co
This may be repeating what you already know, but when you
configure/compile the kernel and specify certain items to be modules,
you also need to compile and install the modules themselves afterwards.
After compiling the kernel I do this as root (from /usr/src/linux):
make modules
make modules_install
The make modules_install command will copy the module files from
/usr/src/linux/drivers to /lib/modules, which is where insmod, kerneld
etc. look for them to be.
This step is documented in /usr/src/linux/README under the heading
"COMPILING the kernel".
