Re: Modules, modprobe, and 2.4.1 kernel
To quote "Dean A. Roman" <droman@chattycow.com>,
# Hello all,
#
# I recently configured, compiled, and installed the 2.4.1 kernel.
So
# far things are going ok with it.
#
# However, modprobe has stopped working correctly, and can't find any
# modules.
Chances are, you need a newer version of modutils. Here's a quick way to
get the appropriate version, made for your particular platform(Debian
Potato, I'm guessing).
1) Add a deb-src line in /etc/apt/sources.list pointing to "testing", as
opposed to "potato" or "stable". Remove this line when you're done.
2) As root, 'apt-get -b source modutils'.
3) As root, 'dpkg -i <modutils.deb, which was created with the previous
command>'. There you go :)
If you read /path/to/kernel/sources/Documentation/Changes , you'll see
the versions of all the programs you need to run a 2.4.x kernel.
# Thanks for any help you can give!
No probs. In return for this help, please refrain from posting your
