Recently I have installed / upgraded the kernel on my Debian box (kernel 2.6.12), the problem I get is when I try to install the modules such as sound card, NIC etc., and I get the following error:

"QM_modules not implemented" - what exactly does that mean? I recall having gone through this problem in the past, but I forgot how"!

Also, I am trying to install the NVidia graphics card drivers, which come in a Nvidia-xxx-something-xxx.run ( which if I recall correctly I needed to install it by running the ' sh ' command, right), but I can't still manage to install it.

Obviously I tried doing that after I upgraded my kernel.


Thanks for your help, folks"!

Darth Vader quoted: "You don't know the power of the Linux side, I must obbey my master".

try chmod +x the file to flag it as binary then execute it by ./file

The modules should already be installed once you compile them into the kernel. You can load them by using /sbin/modprobe. lsmod shows which modules are already loaded.

Thnx blanny,

the thing is that, when I execute the command 'lsmod', that's exactly when I get the message: "QM_modules not implemented".

I roughly remember that when I solved it last time, I installed something which I can't remember what it was.....


Thanks again.....


Eux.

Did you enable loadable module support in the kernel?

Silly question, I know, but it's always good to eliminate the obvious

...........good call"! I shall look into it and let you know.

Ever so kind, thanks a lot.
