Subject: module loading 2.5.50 + nvidia patch

Hi!

I have compiled the kernel with make menuconfig, make bzImage, modules,
modules_install, and installed rusty's latest compatible modprobe util,
but moduls won't load, modprobe xx says modprobe.dep not found. With
insmod, I can load modules, but I'd like that the kernel do it
automatically such as in 2.4. In kernel config, the neccessary options
for this are set. What am I missing, or how has the kernel configuration
changed? By the way, does anybody has a working patch for the binary
3123 drivers? Thx.

Paco

try this patch to get the nvidia working. : http://www.minion.de/nvidia.html
you need to patch the source, im afraid there is no patch for binary drivers
:D
keep in mind its very buggy and tents to crash. mainly on exit from X11
hope this helps.

I ran into the same problem yesterday. If I remember correctly (I don't have
access to that computer right now), Rusty's new modutils look for
/etc/modutils.conf instead of /etc/modules.conf... A softlink to modules.conf
fixed that for me.

Flo
