Hi, I hope I can explain this well enough to get some help. Poor guitar player is a bit lost. This is a bit long and involved. Sorry.
I am on a quest to get my new USB UPS working. My previous kernel did not have USB built in, so I built a new kernel tonight. The kernel is up and running. Wizard usb # uname -a Linux Wizard 2.4.20-gentoo-r2 #6 Thu Sep 4 16:35:11 PDT 2003 i686 AMD Athlon(TM) XP 2600+ AuthenticAMD GNU/Linux Wizard usb # Alsa, xfree and dfree-dri are rebuilt and working. I have sound and glxgears is giving me about 2K frames/sec. QUESTION #1 - Is it a requirement that I need to rebuild xfree each time I build a new kernel? (Time consuming, but done.) The problems I'm seeing right now are: 1) depmod -a produces a large number of errors: Wizard usb # depmod -a depmod: *** Unresolved symbols in /lib/modules/2.4.20-gentoo-r2/kernel/drivers/atm/atmtcp.o <SNIP> depmod: *** Unresolved symbols in /lib/modules/2.4.20-gentoo-r2/kernel/net/sched/sch_teql.o depmod: *** Unresolved symbols in /lib/modules/2.4.20-gentoo-r2/kernel/net/sunrpc/sunrpc.o I believe I did: make dep clean bzImage install modules modules_install QUESTION #2 - What did I do wrong in building my kernel? Probably related to question #2, the USB hotplug page talks about modprobing the USB drivers (modprobe usb-ohci.o) but when I try this it tells me it cannot find the file: Wizard usb # modprobe usb-ohci.o modprobe: Can't locate module usb-ohci.o Wizard usb # However, usb-ohci.o is in the modules directory Wizard usb # pwd /lib/modules/2.4.20-gentoo-r2/kernel/drivers/usb Wizard usb # ls CDCEther.o auerswald.o dsbr100.o hpusbscsi.o microtek.o pwc.o se401.o tiglusb.o usb-ohci.o usbnet.o wacom.o acm.o catc.o emi26.o ibmcam.o ov511.o rio500.o serial uhci.o usb-uhci.o usbvideo.o aiptek.o dabusb.o hcd kaweth.o pegasus.o rtl8150.o storage ultracam.o usbcore.o uss720.o audio.o dc2xx.o hid.o mdc800.o printer.o scanner.o stv680.o usb-midi.o usblcd.o vicam.o Wizard usb # ls -al total 1116 drwxr-xr-x 5 root root 4096 Sep 4 16:52 . drwxr-xr-x 23 root root 4096 Sep 4 16:52 .. <SNIP> -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 34040 Sep 4 16:52 uhci.o -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 12080 Sep 4 16:52 ultracam.o -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 24252 Sep 4 16:52 usb-midi.o -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 24780 Sep 4 16:52 usb-ohci.o -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 28804 Sep 4 16:52 usb-uhci.o -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 87618 Sep 4 16:52 usbcore.o -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 5404 Sep 4 16:52 usblcd.o -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 17596 Sep 4 16:52 usbnet.o -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 29520 Sep 4 16:52 usbvideo.o -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 8468 Sep 4 16:52 uss720.o -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 16300 Sep 4 16:52 vicam.o -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 8972 Sep 4 16:52 wacom.o Wizard usb # QUESTION #3 - why can modprobe not find the module in it's lib/modules/... path???
