To quote "Dean A. Roman" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>, # 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.
