Re: Modprobe error and kerneld question
I fixed the binfmt_java problem. It seems that there was an alias (I know not from where it is not in conf.modules) for binfmt-310 binfmt_java. When I try to run java progs it looks for binfmt--310 (note the two dashes), so I added an alias to binfmt--310 and voila it worked. -- TO UNSUBSCRIBE FROM THIS MAILING LIST: e-mail the word unsubscribe to [EMAIL PROTECTED] .

Re: Modprobe error and kerneld question
Don't get me wrong, but maybe you don't use the mount command the right way ? To mount a CD-Rom you have to use something like mount -t iso9660 /dev/hdb /cdrom To mount a fat Partition mount -t fat /dev/hda6 /mnt You are right to ask -- no offense taken. My understanding is that by setting fstab up correctly I do not need those commandline params. Do not quote me, but my fstab reads something like: ... /dev/cdrom /cdrom iso9660 user,noauto /dev/fd0/floppy msdos conv=auto ... I know that is not quite right but I do not have Internet access fully setup yet. When I compile the fs into the kernel these settings work, when I make the fs's modules I have to insmod first. -- TO UNSUBSCRIBE FROM THIS MAILING LIST: e-mail the word unsubscribe to [EMAIL PROTECTED] .

Re: Modprobe error and kerneld question
Hi, everyone -- I am having the same problem as the original poster; my kerneld (yes, I _do_ have _only_ auto enabled in /etc/conf.modules) doesn't want to mount the floppy in msdos automagically. However, when I do (as root) insmod /lib/modules/2.0.30/fs/fat.o ;followed by insmod /lib/modules/2.0.30/fs/msdos.o I can mount the floppy using -t msdos option. I have tried and can _not_ mount the floppy even after the insmod ../fat.o is executed, if it isn't followed by insmod.../msdos.o command. I have both fs types configured as modules, and I have done so in 2.0.27 kernel (but I can't prove it anymore :-)) without problems I'm having now. Maybe this is a feature, that you _have_ to build the fat support right in... Just my 2 cents DamirN -- TO UNSUBSCRIBE FROM THIS MAILING LIST: e-mail the word unsubscribe to [EMAIL PROTECTED] .

Re: Modprobe error and kerneld question
It works now. I ran a depmod -a and reorganized my conf.modules. The kerneld/module docs all say they are going to be removed -- so I had no where to turn for info. The only two problems left are my char-major-10-130 (which is an alias to softdog, whatever that is) and I can not load binfmt_java as a module by kerneld. When I try to run a compiled class file I get a kernel error saying could not find binfmt--310.

Well, I don't use it either, but have the alias with no problems. You could try to alias char-major-10-130 off. If you did compile watchdog support in your kernel, I believe you also need a device in /dev. Ciao, Martin -- TO UNSUBSCRIBE FROM THIS MAILING LIST: e-mail the word unsubscribe to [EMAIL PROTECTED] .

On 6 Aug, Shaleh wrote: During boot modprobe comes back and tells me that char-mode-10 could not be found. My other question: can kerneld load fs modules as needed. I loaded msdos and isofs as modules and I must load the appropriate one before I can mount floppies or cd's. I can do an insmod -k but I thought the idea was to not have to. I don't know what char-mode-10 is (maybe you could check the documentation in the kernel sourcetree). To get rid of the warning you can append alias char-mode-10 off to your /etc/conf.modules.
