Hi:
I have compiled many options in kernel as loadable modules.How do I load them?Why can I still use FAT filesystem(I compile it as a module) even I didn't load it?
thanx!

do an lsmod, to see what modules are there. I don't get it either, I went out and bought Suse 7.1 to get the newer kernel. I could never get past compiling the modules.

I know that insmod modulename will install a module. i think.

Are any modules listed when you do lsmod???

Oh, yeah, did you read the Documentation/Changes file with the new kernel and make sure that everything on your system is up-to-date. That might be a prob. its in /usr/src/linux-2.x.x/Documentation/Changes.

You might need to update modutils or something.
