Upgraded kernel...can't load modules??

Okay today I ran pacman -Syu and upgraded to kernel 2.4.21.  My only problem now is that on boot, I cannot load any modules, and when I go to modprobe them manually I am given this error:
[root@protium root]# modprobe ne2k-pci
modprobe: Can't open dependencies file /lib/modules/2.4.20/modules.dep (No such file or directory)
[root@protium root]#
A quick glance at my /lib/modules directory surely doesn't show 2.4.20 (as I would not expect it to) but rightly shows 2.4.21 where there is a modules.dep file.  My question is, what do I do (besides a symbolic link) to get modprobe to correctly work again?[/code]

fyi when ever you do anything with respect to lilo or if you recompile or install your own custom kernel always run lilo afterwards. grub does not require this but lilo is not as "smart" and needs to know the kernel or lilo changes you have made.
with respects t the initrd entry in lilo that is only necessary unless you have the new arch scsi configured kernel installed. i got the same error you did after the upgrade and all i did was comment out the initrd entry in my lilo.conf and then ran lilo (or you could have removed it all together but i left mine around in case i ever want an experimental or alternat kernel installed then i would just quickly edit the old initrd entry)

  • I can't load modules after upgrade

    I can't load modules after upgrade xfree 4.4.0-2, gcc 3.4.0-1, perl 5.8.4-1 and kernel 2.6.5-3.I don't have even access to the internet from Arch.System says that modules have invalid version.
    What can I do now?

    You were right robot5x. After command lilo I have got modules loaded properly.Thanks.

  • Can't load module: Out of memory or no room in system tables

    Hi,
    I had to install openSSH on Solaris 8. By default Solaris 8 doesn't have random devices. Moreover, that machine cannot be rebooted. Hence, I chose a patch which doesn't need a reboot if the random devices are created and the /kernel/drv/random module is force loaded.
    While force loading the module (modload /kernel/drv/random) I got the below error.
    " can't load module: Out of memory or no room in system tables "
    I have checked for the memory and there are no memory constraints. I need to force load the module.
    Could anyone help me out ?
    Thanx,
    Jaff

    I can see only 5 topics and all of them are very specific.
    Flash Install
    Live Upgrade
    Jumpstart
    Solaris Install from cd
    Solaris on x86
    Could you please suggest me the forum in which I need to post general help ?
    Thnx,
    Jaff

    how would you expect modload to work after you run "make uninstall"? when you run that final make command the module is removed.

  • Can not load modules during boot with kernel 2.6.31

    Every time i install kernel 2.6.31 (ever since it got into core), after reboot i receive message
    FATAL: module ... not found
    with every module in my rc.conf, or sometimes with this message:
    FATAL: could not load /lib/modules/2.6.30-ARCH/modules.dep no such file or directory
    Before those errors the boot script complaisn about hardware clock (right after the Arch Linux line):
    Could not access the hardware clock via any known method.
    After that I can still start X but my keyboard and mouse are completely dead. The console works fine, i just can not load any module per hand, some daemon can not be started - obviously.
    Latest kernel 2.6.30 works fine. Is this a problem of 2.6.31 ?

    /lib/modules/2.6.30-ARCH/
    That is very strange... it's not booting into .31
    It's an install problem because that dir shouldn't be there after updating kernel26.
    I know you said you installed from core, but was it a custom install? Did you change the PKGBUILD in anyway?
    After installing .31, before rebooting do depmod 2.6.31-ARCH
    Then do mkinitcpio -p kernel26
    Post the output of the second one.

  • Kernel panics after loading modules

    After an update from a few days ago, my computer started getting kernel panics upon boot (i.e. after "Loading Modules" stage). After a restart (hitting the restart button on the case, obviously), the system boots seamlessly. The weird thing is, it locks up only in the morning, when I first turn it on. No matter how many times I start it later on during the day, everything works just fine. The same behavior as presented in here.

    Hey. I was just about to make the exact same thread as you did. I'm having the same problem. The first boot of the day will fail, but later boots are OK. Error messages are the same as yours. My problems started 04.01.11, and the only system upgrade I did that day was the following:

  • Kernel won't load module for Epson Stylus CX4200

    Hi,
    I'm having an odd problem trying to set my printer up. I've blacklisted usblp but when I plug the printer in as suggested by the wiki, I get the following output from /var/log/messages.log:
    Oct 29 14:33:46 acer232 kernel: usb 1-5: new high speed USB device using ehci_hcd and address 10

    I have cups 1.4.1-1, ghostscript 8.70-2, and gsfonts 8.11-5 installed. Cups starts as a daemon and I can get access to the web interface at http://localhost:631/ but the printer does not appear there.
    When I run lsusb the scanner component is displayed but not the printer:
    Bus 001 Device 010: ID 04b8:0820 Seiko Epson Corp. CX4200 MP scanner
    I tried putting in a custom udev rule to give lp ownership over the scanner but that isn't changing any of the output above and cups still won't recognize the printer.
    Does anyone have any ideas on how I can fix this? Thanks!

    It turns out if you delete the /etc/cups/printers.conf file, you can then use the cups web interface at localhost:631 to add the printer again and everything works with cups 1.4.

  • [SOLVED] can't load module-echo-cancel for PulseAudio (WebRtc)

    I have added the line load-module module-echo-cancel to /etc/pulse/default.conf as said in the arch wiki but after I do that , I cannot start pulse and it gives me the follwoing error :
    E: [pulseaudio] main.c: Daemon startup failed.
    I have tried looking in the forum and google for a soulation but failed to find something  that works , also tried different variations of the line like :
    load-module module-echo-cancel source_name=echosource sink_name=echosink channels=1
    but nothing works ...
    so I think it is either the line I use is somehow wrong or I am missing some dependency for using webrtc.
    thanks in adavnce for any help.
    edit : well I solved the problem ..., it seems that after I have installed pavucontrol I was able to succsufully load the echo-cancel module

  • Loading modules when using enter-pssession

    Hello
    I see some thing that appears unusual to me.
    Server1 is running PowerShell v2
    Client1 is running PowerShell v2
    If I am logged directly to Server1 and do
    $Host
    $PSVersionTable
    I get the result I would expect e.g. version 2 and PSVersion2. I can also load Modules in the normal way directly from Server1 e.g. Import-Module ...
    From Client1 (or any other client) if I Enter-PSSession Server1 then
    $Host
    $PSVersionTable
    I get the following verion 1 and PSVersion 2
    So basically even though the PSVersion is 2 the Host (e.g. PS-Session Host) is version 1, and therefore I cannot load Modules as I get the following error if I try
    Import-Module : The current PowerShell host is: 'ServerRemoteHost' (version 1.0.0.0). The module
    'C:\WINDOWS\system32\WindowsPowerShell\v1.0\Modules\pspki\pspki.psd1' requires a minimum PowerShell ho
    st version of '2.0' to execute.
    So it occurs to me the "Host" execution environment you get with PS-Session is a cut down version e.g. version 1
    Is this normal? is there a work around for it?
    Thanks All

  • "load module" is grayed out in the "Tools menu" (SMC 3.5)

    Hello,
    I've installed SMC 3.5 Update 1 on a Solaris 8.
    There is no problem when creating a new node. But when selecting the "Tools" menu to load a module, the choice "Load module..." is grayed out. So I can't load modules into any node.
    When I try a "right-click" on the node, and select "Attribute Editor", I only have "Infos" and "Security" in the new window, but no "Module Manager" and other things as specified in the Sun docs.
    During the installation, only the "Advanced System Monitoring" add-on has been selected.
    Thanks in advance for your help.

    Can you tell me what kind of files can be
    missing on the server? When you ran the SunMC install script (es-inst) it would have prompted you to install several different bundles (Advance System Monitor, Performance Reporting Manager, etc...). The bundle you need to say "y" to is the "Workgroup Server" package. (http://docs.sun.com/app/docs/doc/817-4071/6mjke3qv6?a=view)
    If you're not sure how you answered, es-inst logs to a /var/opt/SUNWsymon/install/(es-inst+timestamp) file you can grep through.
    If in doubt, simply run /opt/SUNWsymon/sbin/es-inst again on your SunMC Server (it will prompt for the location of your install files) and the script will re-prompt you for any packages you said no to last time.
    If that doesn't fix it, or if you just want to get it working now, there's a workaround to the blue-folder issue:

  • Dynamically loading modules

    hi
    i have a menubar with these menuitems build from an xml , in
    that xml i have a field wich indicates what to do when that item is
    choosed and that is, loading a module. Now, i'm using module
    manager to load my modules using an event listener to know when
    it's ready , when i call the ready handler i create an instance of
    a display object and add it to the stage, all is fine, following an
    example from adobe, but my question how can i load modules
    dynamically using the ModuleManager ?
    thanks

  • [SOLVED] Can't load this module??

    Ok, I discovered why I have no eth0 device. I have an
    Nvidia MCP61 Ethernet card, according to lscpi -v
    and no associated "Kernel" modules.
    The necessary Ethernet driver for that Nvidia card is forcedeth
    however
    # modprobe forcedeth
    FATAL: Module forcedeth not found.
    but if I perform a systemwide find..
    I get
    /usr/lib/modules/3.6.2-1-ARCH/kernel/drivers/net/ethernet/nvidia/forcedeth.ko.gz
    but according to 'man modprobe' the modprobe program looks in the /lib/modules/'uname -r' directory
    and when I run
    # uname -r
    3.5.6-1-ARCH
    I can cleary see why modprobe didn't work since according to the previous "find" there is no "forcedeth" in that directory.
    so I tried
    # modprobe -S 3.6.2-1-ARCH
    Error: missing parameters. See -h.
    to tell modprobe to search in that directory instead, but despite different variations I couldn't change the version sucessfully.
    So instead I tried copying the "forcedeth.ko.gz" to the /lib/modules/3.5.6-1-ARCH directory
    and I still haven't been able to "modprobe" it, even with full pathname and force option provided.
    So, in summation, I had the driver in the wrong directory according to 'uname -r' and thus I couldn't
    load it. I tried to manually give modprobe a different kernel version, without sucess, and have tried
    copying forcedeth.ko.gz to the directory which corresponded to /lib/modules/'uname -r'.
    I guess I need to either
    - upgrade the kernel without an internet connection?
    - sucessfully modprobe forcedeth despite the kernel version conflict?
    - maybe throw a symbolic link somewhere?
    - give an explicit option  to define a full path in a config file?
    - do something with mkinitcpio that can specify that module and boot into that ramdisk?
    Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated, since I don't know how else to load the module.
    If any other info on my system might give a lead, I'd be more than happy to provide it. Thanks. I'm almost there...

    ok, did and done. (However, note that this isn't raw code since I have to type from display of the monitor to the laptop.)
    # file /boot/vmlinuz-linux
    /boot/vmlinuz-linux: Linux kernel x86 boot executable bzImage, version 3.6.2-1-ARCH (tobias@T=POWA-LX) #1 SMP PREMPT Fri Oct 12 23:58, RO-rootFS, swap_dev 0x3, Normal VGA
    According to file, I do have the latest kernel, which makes this even more peculiar since it isn't consistent with 'uname -r'
    3.5.6-1-ARCH
    and I'm using grub legacy, I think.
    # cat /boot/grub/menu.1st
    timeout 5
    default 0
    color light-blue/black light-cyan/blue
    # BOOT SECTION

    kernel /boot/vmlinuz-linux root=/dev/disk/by-uuid/xxxxxxxxx-xxxx-xxxx-xxxx-xxxxxxxx ro modeset=0
    initrd /boot/initramfs-fallback.img
    # (1) Arch Linux

    root (hd0,2)
    kernel /boot/vmlinuz-linux root=/dev/disk/by-uuid/xxxxxxxx-xxxx-xxxx-xxxx-xxxxxxxx ro
    initrd /boot/initramfs-fallback.img
    I didn't post the whole config since transcribing comments with mode suggestions would be needless. But I don't think there's any danger in ommitting the '#' lines, is there?
