Modules not showing up after compile - why?
Sorry for this basic query; I've always used monolithic kernels but
decided to build a modules version to try it out and I don't understand
what's happening..
I selected various modules and built the kernel. I included the kernel
module loader to enable automatic loading of modules. The kernel
compiled OK and I booted with it without problems. All the functions
seem to be implemented as I expected.
However, lsmod and modprobe show nothing: there is no /proc/ksyms or
/proc/modules.
Questions: why don't these things show up, and how does the kernel work
if the modules aren't there?
