The 'modules_install' make target installs drivers that have been compiled as modules as opposed to those compiled into the kernel, into /lib/modules/`uname -r`. For your own modules added to the kernel source tree, or built out-of-tree, that would involve putting appropriate entries into Kconfig and/or Makefiles. Modeprobe expects your module to be found in /lib/modules/`uname -r`. Otherwise, your module won't get loaded. To load a module from a directory other than /lib/modules/`uname -r`, you want to use insmod and to remove it, rmmod. _______________________________________________ Kernelnewbies mailing list Kernelnewbies@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx https://lists.kernelnewbies.org/mailman/listinfo/kernelnewbies
