 |
|
| I installed gentoo on my laptop but evertime I try to load a module it says module not found. I've tried for both tulip and orinoco_cs and both give the same error. Could somebody please tell me why I am getting no modules. I would really appreciate it. |

Maybe you need to do modules-update?

Where should these modules come from? are kernel modules or come from an emerge (i.e. pcmcia-cs).
If they come from a packet you installed, and you recompiled your kernel, you have to reemerge it.

If they are kernel modules, do this:
| Code: | cd /usr/src/linux (or your linux kernel dir)
cp .config ~/
make mrproper
cp ~/.config ./
make menuconfig |
select all your modules that you need. make sure to compile them as MODULES not as image-compiled.
then exit and save.
then type this:
| Code: | | make dep && make clean bzImage modules modules_install |
that will make your kernel image and all your modules. any modules you have that you need all the time, just edit your /etc/modules.autoload, and add them into that.
also, you can check the help files on most of the kernel selections in menuconfig by hitting the "?" key. many times it will list what the module name is (in case you are trying to load the modules by the wrong name.)
good luck. |
