I think you missed depmod 1) install ... 2) depmod -a <- Look this up in the man page, I'm not what the parameter is 3) modprobe hello d. -----Original Message----- From: kernelnewbies-bounce@nl.linux.org [mailto:kernelnewbies-bounce@nl.linux.org] On Behalf Of l x Sent: Saturday, May 15, 2004 7:08 PM To: kernelnewbies@nl.linux.org Subject: Help - modprobe Hi, I created a module hello.o and could do "insmod hello" without any problem. To use modprobe, I do: (1) #install -m 644 hello.o /lib/modules/`uname -r`/hello_world/ (2) #modprobe hello But I got an error msg "modprobe: Can't locate module hello". But I can see the module file under /lib/modules/2.4.20-8/hello_world/hello.o What I missed? Also, do I have to install a module under /lib/module/... first if wanting to use modprobe? Can I run modprobe to install a module in the current directory? Thanks, T. __________________________________ Do you Yahoo!?
