Only three modules ? Is this right ?

[netpumber]

Hi im new member in your community and today i deside to install gentoo... I take the handbook and other resources from the start and now im in the point where you are configure modules. i run the find command

find /lib/modules/<kernel version>/ -type f -iname '*.o' -or -iname '*.ko' | less


and the result contains only 3 modules... Is this right ?

1) xt_mark.ko
2) scsi_wait_scan.ko
3) test_nx.ko


What you say...

Thanks in advance!

Looks totally ok. Most things are directly in your kernel, so you don't need so many modules.

Btw. you can also use modprobe -l to see your modules.

yes.. i know that the most modules are build-in kernel but only three make me wonder... Anyway.. Thanks a lot my friend..!

netpumber,

You will only have modules for items you selected in make menuconfig as <M>.
Everything that chooses as <*> is built into the kernel. You cannot load and unload these items.

Be aware that ablepharus advice to use modprobe -l shows the modules for the currently running kernel.
In your position, where you booted from the liveCD, made your own kernel and need to see its modules then
find /lib/modules/<kernel version>/ -type f -iname '*.o' -or -iname '*.ko' | less is correct.
