Hello everybody I got sources for kernel 2.4.1.I was able to build the kernel without any problem.But when i did make install_modules nothing got copied to /lib/modules/2.4.1. I did do a make xconfig before building. I know there is option for modular kernel which was selected.Did i miss something ?????. thanx in advance nachiket _____________________________________________________ Chat with your friends as soon as they come online.

Did you actually type 'make install_modules'? If you did, then what you should have typed is 'make modules_install'... If you did type it correctly, then it may just be that you didn't actually select any parts of the kernel to be built as modules. Also note that the actual modules are stored somewhere under /lib/modules/2.4.x/kernel for the 2.4.x kernels.

May I suggest going to the SuSE ftp site and grabbing the 2.4.2 RPM + the modutils RPM or getting 2.4.3 which was released yesterday. It may be a 2.4.1 problem. -- Ben Rosenberg mailto:ben@whack.org ----- If two men agree on everything, you can be sure that only one of them is doing the thinking.

Something I learned the hard way: don't upgrade modutils unless you're also upgrading the kernel. Apparently the newer modutils depends on the newer kernel. Paul Abrahams

The above approach works. -- Ben Rosenberg mailto:ben@whack.org ----- If two men agree on everything, you can be sure that only one of them is doing the thinking.

Actually, modutils should work with older kernels. However, I also had a problem with the SuSE rpm for modutils-2.4.2 while using the SuSE 2.4.0 kernel. For some reason, I could not get any modules to load. I am now using the SuSE modutils-2.4.2 with a self-compiled 2.4.3 kernel, and everything works fine. - v -- Victor R.
