Modules problem part-2

Modules problem part-2

[joy]

hi,
I did what was told of  me, make modules and make install and the 
modules were in place.
but the other problem I had with lsmod and insmod giving me error stating:
QM_MODULES function not implemented
refuses to go away
even at bootup ,
when init runs modprobe, the same error appears a LOT of times.(it 
scrolls fast but I could just make out!)


Any ideas?
Thanx in advance,
Joy

It sounds like you (or whoever compiled your kernel) did not compile in 
loadable modules support. (In 2.4.x kernels, which I still use, this is the 
second item in the "make menuconfig" setup list, so you might look in a 
similar location in the 2.6.x configuration.)

In the 2.4.x kernels, the relevant section of the actual config file is

         #
         # Loadable module support
         #
         CONFIG_MODULES=y
         CONFIG_MODVERSIONS=y
         CONFIG_KMOD=y

Here too, you might look for something similar in the 2.6.x config file ... 
the "QM_MODULES" name might indicate a change in terminology.

Here's what I've got in my 2.6.0 kernel .config file relevant to this:

#
# Loadable module support
#
CONFIG_MODULES=y
CONFIG_MODULE_UNLOAD=y
# CONFIG_MODULE_FORCE_UNLOAD is not set
CONFIG_OBSOLETE_MODPARM=y
# CONFIG_MODVERSIONS is not set
CONFIG_KMOD=y

this message appears when using old modutils with a 2.6 kernel

AFAIK Joy has NOT followed my advice, to be more precise, Joy quite possably 
needs to install a new set of modules utilitys which is mentioned in the 
Changes file (of which i mentioned in my last mail).

Use google and type in QM_MODULES as the search and one will see that Joy is 
not the first to have this problem.

Hi pa3gcu (please tell me how to pronounce it),
I did exactly what you told me to do.
I went thru the debug mesgs and found that module-init-tools is reqd., 
downloaded it,
and installed.
Well,
lsmod and insmod now work perfect, but init's modprobe stills curses the 
hell out of me.
I'll compile another time and see if I can get it working......
See ya soon,
Joy

Possably because you did not read the README and INSTALL files in the 
mod-utils package (properly) before you compiled and installed them.

> I'll compile another time and see if I can get it working......

Bad option, do some reading first.

You may want to also try using www.google.com/linux to find more info about 
your problem, others have been there and done that, so see what they did to 
correct the problem.
