Hi, The recipe you used for compiling the kernel looks fine; I'd be inclined to look elsewhere for a problem. Hmm. On my machine (I use diald, so that explains why I have both slip and ppp) it looks like: ---------------------------------------------------------------------- __> lsmod Module Pages Used by ppp 5 1 (autoclean) softdog 1 1 (autoclean) misc 1 [softdog] 1 (autoclean) slip 2 1 (autoclean) slhc 2 [ppp slip] 2 (autoclean) ---------------------------------------------------------------------- You see that the use count is at least 1 (you had the use count at 0, was that right?)
Does /lib/modules/`uname -r`/modules.dep exist? Do you have a /etc/init.d/modules? what does your /etc/modules look like? (I use the auto keyword, like so) ---------------------------------------------------------------------- # /etc/modules: kernel modules to load at boot time. # # This file should contain the names of kernel modules that are # to be loaded at boot time, one per line. Comments begin with # a `#', and everything on the line after them are ignored. # An entry named `auto' will cause the system to start kerneld immediately. # Kerneld then loads modules on demand. `noauto' disables kerneld completely. auto ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Also, does you /etc/conf.modules look ok? (If you mail it back here we may be able to check it out) I hope this helped a bit. manoj -- "Question Authority and the Authorities will question You."
