hi all! i just compiled kernel-2.4.4 and it boots without any problems, but modprobe is never able to locate my modules. after i compiled the kernel i also ran 'make modules' and 'make modules_install'
the modules do exist and are working, because i can insert them with insmod when i am in the same directory as the module, and /sbin/modconf loads them as well (so the correct paths seem to be compiled into modconf) what about modprobe though? i checked the version and it it 2.4.2 -- does that mean i can only load kernel 2.4.2 modules? i am using debian testing, modutils 2.4.2 is the newest version (kernel-source-2.4.4 is the newest version respectively) since modconf loads my modules it's not that bad really, the problem however is that programs like alsaconf don't seem to work without modprobe...even though i loaded the sound module with modconf and it does find my soundcard, i can neither hear sound nor run alsaconf successfully -- i *think* it is all because of modprobe doesn't locate the modules... i also tried to add the respective /lib/modules/2.4.4/... directories in /etc/modutils but to no avail can anybody suggest to me how to solve this? thanks! -vester
