 Posted: Sat Apr 23, 2005 8:53 pm Post subject: modprobe/lsmod issues? |
 |
|
i just finished a new install of 2005.0/kernel-2.6.11-r6 on a server. everything seems to come up just fine. but, when i run *lsmod* all i get is:
| Code: |
ls0 / # lsmod
Module Size Used by
ls0 / #
|
if i try to *modprobe* one of my nic drivers (which are loaded by the kernel anyway) i get this:
| Code: |
ls0 / # modprobe sis900
FATAL: Module sis900 not found.
ls0 / #
|
like i said, everything seems to be working. i haven't tried to load any other modules yet. but, the lack of output from lsmod really confuses me. shouldn't i see what is currently running?
edit: i forgot to mention, i have the current release of module-init-tools.
the only changes to my kernel config i made were the inclusion of raid support (it is a software raid 1 box). the rest is pretty light and standard.
did i miss or incorrectly config something with module support? why would modprobe and lsmod not work? |

Did you mark your kernel drivers as <M> or as <*>? If you used <*> for everything (or at least everything your computer actually needs), then you won't have any modules loaded, as everything is built into the kernel itself (i.e. it is not a module).

Did you remember to run
make modules-install ?
cd to /lib/modules
You should see a directory with the kernel revision i.e. 2.6.11-r6
cd into this directory and there will be further directories containing only modules you have compiled.
You will only see a module if you compiled it with the "m" option in the kernel config as has been mentioned already.
