/sbin/modprobe nfs
cannot locate the nfs module.

The object file is in /lib/modules/fs/nfs.o?

I added it to /lib/modules/fs/modules.dep just for the hell of it and then
did a modprobe nfs and I got a bunch of unresolved symbol errors?

It's built as a module (like virtually everything else).

Did you try "modprobe nfs"?  Maybe adding it to /etc/modules so that it
gets
loaded at every boot?

See above.  Since a rather large number of users have little or no use for
nfs, it would be patently ridiculous to build it into the kernel.

And the .config file (for the umpteen-millionth time) *is* provided.  Look
in
the /usr/share/doc/kernel- directory.

[expert] 7.2 and nfs

2000-11-07 Thread bburns




Hello,

Am I hallucinating or does the pre-built kernel shipped with 7.2 not have
nfs file type turned on?  When I mount an nfs drive I get the error, "fs
type nfs not supported by kernel".  How can Mandrake ship a kernel without
nfs turned on?  On top of that, they do not supply the configuration file
they used to build the pre-built kernel!!
