2.6

[Wdy85]

i just compiled my first 2.6 kernel (upgrading from 2.4.23 on my vector box to 2.6.4)...

Well, my vesa driver dosen't work, and i think i figured out why...

whenever a module tries to load, or when i invoke lsmod, i get this message:

QM_MODULES: function not implemented

why? i did upgrade to module_init_tools 0.9.14, so that isn't it...any other suggestions? thanks

"QM_MODULES: function not implemented "

means that you have disabled module support in your kernel.

"QM_MODULES: function not implemented "
could also be a sign of your modutils not supporting 2.6 kernels.

You can get newer modutils (they're now named module-init-tools, and the current
version is 3.0) Here

This is the thread I got the link from.

I suggest to compile them the following way:

./configure --prefix=/
make moveold
(I was told to only "make moveold" once, and
just use "make" if you need to compile them again)

then do a
make install

now the thread mentioned above reckomends to run
./generate-modprobe.conf /etc/modprobe.conf
