well, since adding module support is rather basic i can't imagine there being a document on how to do it(unless your talking about *programming* modules) i hope i got your question right.
if you built your own kernel and did not include module support, go back to the configuration of the kernel (be it config, menuconfig, or xconfig) and go to the loadable module support section, and turn on [*] Enable loadable module support [*] Kernel module loader and i suggest turning OFF: [ ] Set version information on all symbols for modules having it on can cause problems on some 3rd party modules(it was a major headache for me in vmware) then recompile your kernel, reinstall it and reboot. if your using a kernel that came with the system chances are it already has module support enabled. note that if you want better security it is best to have module support *OFF* as there was lots of talk about trojan modules that crackers use to hide their activities, i generally try to keep my servers fully static, but my main machine at home has about 30 modules(about 26 of which cannot be compiled into the kernel:< ) also make sure you have a recent version of modutils(insmod -V) i use 2.1.121 and it works fine with kernel 2.2.10. if you need info on how to configure/compile a kernel let me know i'd be happy to walk you through what i do to make a new kernel(although its from my days as a slackware user and by no means is it 'standard debian practice') :) nate On Mon, 3 Jan 2000, Chris Hoover wrote: wax_ma >Is there a good document on how to setup a 2.2.x kernel to use modules?
