Re: 2.2.4pre9 and modules

[Marvin Stodolsky <stodolsk@erols.com>]

For the major compile, pre2.2.4pre8, the kernel-package.deb route has
worked fine. Within /usr/src/linux
	make-kpkg --revision=laptop.1 kernel_image
After which 
	dpkg -i /usr/src/kernel-image-version.deb
installs kernel+selected modules.  I've had to do the pcmcia modules "by
hand" however:
	cd /usr/src/modules/pcmcia-cd
	./Configure
	make all
	make install
the /lib/modules/2.4.  The modules structure is:

tree -d /lib/modules/2.4.0-test8

/lib/modules/2.4.0-test8
|-- build -> /usr/src/linux
|-- kernel
|   |-- drivers
|   |   |-- block
|   |   |   `-- paride

===================
Aloha All;

To get support for my new ata100 drive , last night I installed the
2.2.4pre9
kernel ( using kernel-package ) . It all went fine (the drive worked)
... but
then I noticed non of the modules Id selected seemed to be loading on
boot.

I checked /lib/modules/2.2.4pre9 and non of the modules Id selected
during the
kernel config were there. I tried again and again but alas no modules
seemed
to be getting compiled. I checked the docs for kernel-package and it
said
something about modules not being compiled when the kernel version has
an
epoch ?????

Am I doing something completely stupid here ?
