then (I've missed something here as I'm using ^s ^q to pause the boot messages as none of this seems to show in dmesg) I get others like: input modprobe: Can't locate module input usbkbd modprobe: Can't locate module usbkbd ... > IIRC all the module dependency should be handled automatically, that was my reading of things too... > but if something is broken maybe you need to manually do a "depmod -a"? doesnt' change things unfortunately > > If I rename the old /libmodules back again: no improvement. > > > This is all in changing from a working 2.4.18 kernel to the custom > 2.4.18 with RAID, correct? No, starting from the 2.4.18 source tree, the working install was 2.4.18-bf2.4 but I can't see a source tree for that and assume it's the same as the bf2.4 and the issue is in the modules loaded and marked loadable. OK, inspired by responses from debian-user I've tried explicitly adding another module: via-rhine as it happens: bingo, still complaints about all the other modules but that one is there now so the issue is clearly the basic configuration I started with. I had assumed that the initial make menuconfig from the source tree would start with the basic modules in. Is there a way to take the module list from the bf2.4 install kernel image and start from there? Sorry if I'm looking straight through it but I can't see it. > Did you miss any config differences in rebuilding (The easiest is to > start with the working system config and then add the changes you > want.) Indeed, I thought that starting with the 2.4.18 source would do that: clearly not. > You might also want to look into using kernel flavors (see the > "--append-to-version" discussion in kernel-package). I can see that would have been better than "--version" and I'll go over to that if I can get a basic config right now ... > This may help you while you are getting things working.
