2.4.1 install successful - what's up with modconf?



Thank you to all who let me know some more information about kernel
2.4.1. It installed flawlessly, runs smoothly so far, and if anything
seems lightning quick. I'm looking forward to reformatting some of the
partitions as reiser and play around with it for a while.

However, I'm really confused by one last issue. When I run modconf, it
doesn't think I have any modules available. However, the rest of the
module utilities seem to work ok. For example:

# lsmod
Module                  Size  Used by
tulip                  34064   1

# modprobe -l
/lib/modules/2.4.1/kernel/drivers/block/rd.o
/lib/modules/2.4.1/kernel/drivers/ide/ide-floppy.o
/lib/modules/2.4.1/kernel/drivers/net/de4x5.o
/lib/modules/2.4.1/kernel/drivers/net/dummy.o
/lib/modules/2.4.1/kernel/drivers/net/tulip/tulip.o
/lib/modules/2.4.1/kernel/drivers/sound/emu10k1/emu10k1.o
/lib/modules/2.4.1/kernel/drivers/sound/sound.o
/lib/modules/2.4.1/kernel/drivers/sound/soundcore.o
/lib/modules/2.4.1/kernel/fs/isofs/isofs.o
/lib/modules/2.4.1/kernel/fs/nls/nls_cp437.o
/lib/modules/2.4.1/kernel/fs/nls/nls_iso8859-1.o
/lib/modules/2.4.1/kernel/fs/reiserfs/reiserfs.o


I'd really like to install my emu10k1 module (though I haven't
compiled enough of the support files, I'm still missing midi support
and mixer support in some other files - I'll find the source files
soon enough) and the reiserfs module. I have the latest modconf
availabe in sid though I'm using woody. What's up with modconf?

ii  modconf        0.2.30         Device Driver Configuration
ii  modutils       2.4.1-2        Linux module utilities.

Thank you again.
