For some reason, I cannot get the modules loaded (or so it seems) with kernel 2.2.17. I go through all the steps: make menuconfig make dep make bzImage make modules make modules_install make bzlilo. I have made sure that everything is selected, and kernel module loading is enabled. Boot goes OK, but then I get a string of error messages from insmod about modules that cannot be found. I have run modprobe, which complains: "Can't open dependencies file: /lib/modules/2.2.17/modules.dep (no such file or directory)
/lib/modules/2.2.17 contains two directories only: net, with bsd_comp.o and ppp_deflate.o in it, and misc, with zft-compress.o. Nothing else. As an example, I have a D-Link Ethernet card that uses the rtl8139 chip. The source code for the driver is present in the kernel source, but the compiled driver is missing. Any ideas? I'm going crazy with this, and a search of the newsgroups has yet to give me a satisfactory answer. TIA Cam Cam Ellison, Ph.D., R.Psych.
