Hello,
- I have installed the above and encounter that all aliases in
/etc/modules.conf don't work with 2.4.65. The same system is ok
with 2.4.21-pre5.
- Setups tried include RH 7.3 and 8.094, MDK 9.1pre.
- excerpt from /etc/modules.conf
alias eth0 eepro100
alias char-major-10-135 rtc
- Aliases can't be probed
modprobe eth0
Fatal: module eth0 not found
modprobe char-major-10-135
Fatal: module char-major-10-135 not found
- Modules can be probed:
modprobe eepro100
(ok)
modprobe rtc
(ok)
Driver works after restarting network
What did I miss? Thank you for your input
Michael

Uh? Are you using Rusty's latest 2.5.x modutils? If so,
/etc/modules.conf has been superseded by /etc/modprobe.conf.
Take a look at modutils configuration and extra utils, as there is
a tools used to automatically migrate from modules.conf to
modprobe.conf.
I haven't had problems wirh module aliases. For example,
iso9660 is called isofs in 2.5, so I set up an alias for this
module.

Felipe,
Thank you very much for this input. I use rusty's latest modutils and rpmbuild those from SRPM never seing the documentation hidden in .
For those who might have the same problem, I found info in module-init-tools-0.9.10/README available from http://www.kernel.org/pub/linux/kernel/people/rusty/modules
It is working now.
Thank you you again,
Michael
