Is there a way to tell if your compile was successful like a ****
--version command ?

I get the following 2.4.12 !?!? Now I'm very confused


s3a-www:/usr/src/linux-2.4.18.SuSE # modprobe --version
modprobe version 2.4.12
modprobe: Nothing to load ???
Specify at least a module or a wildcard like \*
s3a-www:/usr/src/linux-2.4.18.SuSE #

modprobe --version
gives me 0.9.5.

lsmod and insmod don't support --version.

Did you install the new mod-utils? ('make install' as root)
and how did you tell the new mod-utils that you want to use them?
Sounds like you need to read the README and INSTALL files...

If you are running a 2.5 kernel then it seems you didn't install the
module-init-tools correctly. It's supposed to install the newer utils as
modutils, lsmod, insmod etc.. and backups the old modutils as
modprobe.old, lsmod.old, insmod.old and so on.

Either that or you are running a 2.4 kernel, in which case the output is
correct (or so it seems).
