Since you're successfully inserting modules under 2.6.x I assume you
installed module-init-tools to replace modutils. However, I think you
might have missed this part of the module-init-tools FAQ:
{excerpt}
Q) I'm using RedHat and modules don't autoload any more.
A) RedHat turns module autoloading off if /proc/ksyms isn't found.
Change line 337 of /etc/rc.d/rc.sysinit from:
if ! grep -iq nomodules /proc/cmdline 2>/dev/null && [ -f /proc/ksyms
]; then
to
if ! grep -iq nomodules /proc/cmdline 2>/dev/null && [ -f
/proc/modules ]; then
Q) Things still don't load properly.
A) Do you have an /etc/modprobe.conf? If not, use
generate-modprobe.conf to generate an /etc/modprobe.conf from your
old setup.
{/excerpt}
You may not find 'line 337' at line 337. Search "/proc/ksyms" - don't
change the ones later in the file, though!
