Subject: Possible Module Loader bug...

Hi ! :)

Kernel version : 2.5.50
lsmod
QM_MODULES: function not implemented

all functions lsmod, depmod, rmmod, modprobe... don't work
although i think, i've module support on the kernel...
cat .config | grep -i module
# Loadable module support
CONFIG_MODULES=y
CONFIG_MODULE_UNLOAD=y
# CONFIG_MODULE_FORCE_UNLOAD is not set

is there anyone who have the same problem ?

Perhaps it would be a better idea to have the syscall vectors for the old
module functions do something other than simply return as not implemented.
Something along the lines of "(foo) attempted to use old module interface"
instead of simply deleting the functions entirely.

Otherwise, there are going to be 10 million people asking why modules don't
work anymore. There is exactly ZERO indication that things have changed.
(The changes to the keyboard and pc speaker "beep" will have people confused
as well.)
