Re: [gentoo-user] Round 2: modules/kernel problem & No modules work -- i8k
I don't really know how the whole module thing works, but I've encountered similar situations where modules can't be found because things are not looking where I thought they should, and basically because I don't understand much of it. As a result of some chats on #gentoo, I've come up with this approach: do a 'modprobe -l > my-modules.txt' which seems to result in a list of modules, each with a fully absolute path, and each with a '.o' or whatever ending. By hand, I've gone through each line and deleted the stuff that isn't the module name, and the bits after the dot. I'm sure there's a programming way of doing it, but frankly this was quicker than spending another twenty years trying to learn programming, which hasn't worked out so far. Then I change the result into /etc/modules.autoload and all is happy. It'd be nice if there were an automated way of arriving at modules.autoload from the output of modprobe -l and simply allowing the user to comment out the bits not needed (or in my case, it's all needed or I wouldn't have made the kernel that way in the first place). -- Ian Tindale -- [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list

Is "Set version information on all module symbols" enabled? I don't think it should need to be, but it can't hurt. Actually, I remember having this problem myself a long time ago. I think I did a make distclean and doing everything from scratch fixed it.

What is this? A threat? Please don't assume that a lack of help is because we don't want you with us.

I posted earlier about the same problem. I tried both depmod -a and update-modules. Also, my sound device "/dev/dsp" is missing. I'm confused.
