Kernel 2.4 and problems with modules

[bkurt]

I am using slack 7.1 and just compiled the 2.4.0 kernel and the only problem that I am having is with getting any modules to work. When I try and do modprobe and insmod it sayd it could not find the particular module, but it is there. The only thing I notice different is that the modules are stored differently. Usually when you go to lib/modules/kernelversion all your modules are there in their directories. However in the lib/modules/2.4.0 directory I have a directory named kernel and all the modules are within this directory. Is there something else I need to do?? Thanks for any help.

My guess would be that you need a new version of the modutils. Have a look at the Changes files that came with the source. There you'll find a table with the software you need to run 2.4.

Look at ftp.kernel.org under utils youll find the newest modutils.

It couldn't be as simple as you forgetting to do a "make modules;make modules_install" from the source directory -could it?

Anyway, here is the link for modutils mentioned above http://www.kernel.org/pub/linux/utils/kernel/modutils/v2.4/

That pretty much explained the usb problems I was having with 2.4
