PCMCIA Module not included after Kernel Re-Compile

PCMCIA Module not included after Kernel Re-Compile

Post by BF » Sun, 18 Oct 1998 04:00:00



I have re-compiled my Kernel to 2.0.35 (for various reasons).
Now it seems most of the modules from the base install (in
/lib/modules/2.0.32) were not included in the new compile.
I have gone through make config several times to see if I am missing
anything...

How do I get support for PCMCIA (and cardmgr, which now gives an error on
boot) back into the new kernel?

Thanks.

Place your pcmcia source (such as pcmcia-cs-3.0.0) in the
/usr/src/linux directory if it is not already there.

$ cd /usr/src/linux/pcmcia-cs-3.0.0
$ make

...follow the instructions.

Yes, your PCMCIA modules are in /lib/modules2.0.32, but the new kernel
looks for them in /lib/modules/2.0.35.

This is what I did:

Search for the file pcmcia-cs.05-Aug-98.tar.gz on http://ftpsearch.ntnu.no
and download it.

Untar it and run ./configure

Type in the Linux source tree, if yours is different from the suggeted
Choose 'read from source' tree when asked

make install

reboot

Now you should be up and running

1. Kernel re-compile, now modprobe not working

Anybody knows why?

I've re-compiled my linux 2.0.35 kernel, with kernel module support,
loadable modules daemon support, everything. Okay, here's the commands:

make dep; make clean; make zImage; make modules; make modules_install.

moved kernel to /vmlinuz, re-ran lilo.

New kernel boots, working fine. Except, cannot load modules.e.g. previously,
I could load the ne.o module (I've had to do this, I know it works).

Now, when I say modprobe -c  it says "file /lib/modules/2.0.35/modules.dep
not found". How do I build this file?
Also, insmod ne.o doesn't work, says something about versioning information.

Help please
