Hi,
I have just installed (from scratch) SuSE linux
7.2 on a
Toshiba Labtop. In the /lib/modules directory there is a
directory
"2.2.4-4GB" where the kernel modules are located.
When compiling the kernel sources, running "make modules"
and
"make modules_install" I can see that the modules for the drivers
I have selected to be running as modules (in menuconfig) are NOT
in /lib/modules/<kernel version>. This is true for both my sound
cards the USB devices and the modules for PCMCIA.
This of course has the effect that when booting the new kernel, I
get error messages about the missing modules.
When copying the modules for PCMCIA (from
../linux/drivers/pcmcia/)
to /lib/modules/<kernel version>/pcmcia the modules are suddenly
found.
What is the problem here, I thought that $make modules_install would
install all the modules to the divices, specified in menuconfig as
modules, to be copied to the correct locations in
/lib/modules/<kernel version> !?´.
I have compiled many kernels in the past, but as this is the
first time
I have had to use modules, this comes as a surprice to me.
Can anyone please help.
Thanks in
advance.
