Hi,
I've been trying to get 2.6.0 to work, I've enabled modules support, but
I get this error on my logs:
Jul 15 15:38:36 Darakemba kernel: No module symbols loaded - kernel
modules not enabled.
Is there any thing like a new modutils that should be used with 2.6.x
family?
The kernel does boot, but not having any modules I can't do much, and
also, I never get to really see the messages on screen, on logs I have
this line:
Jul 15 15:38:36 Darakemba kernel: Video mode to be used for restore is ffff
What does it mean?
I disabled all the framebuffer things so I can just use vga, on lilo,
vga mode is set to normal, but still can't see anything.
TIA,
--

Yes there is. Please read the Documentation/Changes file for this info.
(hint, you need to get the module-init-tools package.)
Good luck,

Yes, they are at
http://www.kernel.org/pub/linux/kernel/people/rusty/modules/
Also, a summary of 2.5/2.6 changes is very worthwhile reading. See:
http://www.codemonkey.org.uk/post-halloween-2.5.txt
for which config options that you really need to enable.

I installed the module-init-tools package and it went to /usr/local.
First I changed the kernel Makefile to point to /usr/local then
I had module problems and tried copying the cmds to /sbin and
renamed the the old commands like implied in the script:
generate-modprobe.conf
Yesterday I heard I better move them back or I won't be able
to boot my old kernels. It's hard to believe that these tools
aren't backward compatible.
Moving the module-init-tools to /sbin didn't help my problem;
is it necessary/helpful. Perhaps they are only needed for
building the new kernels.

It works here.
i've a debian distro, i apt-get'ed module-init-tools. Man modprobe says:
BACKWARDS COMPATIBILITY
This version of insmod is for kernels 2.5.48 and above. If it
detects a kernel with support for old-style modules (for which much of
the work was done in userspace), it will attempt to run insmod.modu-
tils in its place, so it is completely transparent to the user.
diego@estel:~$ ls -l /sbin/insmod*
-rwxr-xr-x 1 root root 5072 2003-06-15 12:27 /sbin/insmod
-rwxr-xr-x 1 root root 359 2003-03-06 15:50 /sbin/insmod_ksymoops_clean
-rwxr-xr-x 1 root root 95372 2003-03-06 15:50 /sbin/insmod.modutils
Looking at the size, insmod.modutils seems the 2.4 insmod loader.
Gentoo works too, with 2.5 and 2.6, 2.4 works as expected, like before
installing the devel kernels
:-)
Im going for the first day of uptime with 2.6, and no problem at all

Funny, I don't see insmod.modutils installed in /usr/local/sbin:
ls -l /usr/local/sbin/insmod*
-rwxr-xr-x 1 root root 28834 Jul 9 14:36
/usr/local/sbin/insmod
-rwxr-xr-x 1 root root 461564 Jul 9 14:36
/usr/local/sbin/insmod.static
I also didn't find insmod.modutils in the module-init-tools-0.9.12 src:
[root@www src]# find module-init-tools-0.9.12 -name "*insmod*" -print
module-init-tools-0.9.12/doc/insmod.sgml
module-init-tools-0.9.12/insmod.c

I don't use the debian or RH packages. I just download and follow

I don't think that I have that one either. Could be a result
of using one of the packages instead of building it from source.

That is Debian doing things differently again. The vanilla
modules-init-tools will run insmod.old:
$ ls /sbin/insmod*
/sbin/insmod /sbin/insmod.old /sbin/insmod.static
/sbin/insmod_ksymoops_clean
$
Anyhow, usually reading the documentation (*hint* README *hint*)
should help.

If you are using debian, apt-get install module-init-tools.

Thanks, it seems to work better than the source I get, well, I actually
screwed up something with the sources, and dpkg was able to fix it for me :)
