 Its generally a good idea _not_ to enable modversions.  There
 should be more info on it in the readme stuff with the kernel
 source.  That's why this is turned off by default in the config.
 Did you recompile _all_ of your modules when you compiled this
 kernel?  You need to do that if you have this option enabled (I
 think, anyway).

I thought the opposite is true: enable MODVERSIONS if I want to use
modules from different versions. That's what make config tells me, as I
understand it. BTW: I had recompiled all modules. 

 Of course, Dale may be right in that you
 only need to run a depmod -a.

Oops! Yes, thanks, that helped it. I must admit that I didn't read the
documentation. I wonder why I had no dependancy problems with older 2.0.x
kernels with the same config. 

One could put /sbin/depmod -a into a startup script as suggested by
Documentation/modules.txt.

Bye,

No dependancy information for modules with kernel 2.0.27

1996-12-17 Thread Heiko R. Selber
Hello,

I installed debian 1.2 the other day and compiled a new kernel (2.0.27)

The new kernel was unable to load any modules during bootup.

It just said: 'Can't find dependancy information for module mcd.o' and
the like.

What went wrong? Is it because I have kerneld 2.0.0? Where would I get a
kerneld 2.0.27 if such a thing exists?

Here's what I did:
'make config dep clean zImage modules modules_install ; cp \
arch/i386/boot/zImage / ; lilo'

I chose
CONFIG_MODULES=y
CONFIG_MODVERSIONS=y
CONFIG_KERNELD=y
in config. 

What's wrong?

Thanks,
Heiko

Try running: depmod -a
