Handling the modules (compilation option 1)
===========================================
Once you have installed the kernel modules, you will have to make sure
they are found.
First, check whether your modutils will look in the right directory at
all. If you used build system 1, you will probably have to add lines
to /etc/conf.modules or /etc/modules.conf (use the one that exists, or
take your pick):
(modules-2.0.0):
path[misc]=/lib/modules/current/extra/misc
(modutils-2.1.x):
path=/lib/modules/current/extra
This assumes /lib/modules/current will always be linked to the correct
modules tree. If not, you will have to change it as appropriate for
your system.
You may also have to add all default paths to this file. You can get
a list of them by doing a `modprobe -c', before and after your changes.
Next, you will have to run `depmod -a' to have them recognised. Most
Run the command `depmod -a' to have the new modules recognised. Most
distributions run this command when you boot, so if you were cross-
compiling, you can skip this step.
