modprobe wont work on fc2


hello,


i just installed fc2 on my system. i overwrote my fc1 installation. when
i try to run /sbin/generate-modprobe.conf i get this message "Cannot
find old version of modprobe. Giving up." I am using modutils-2.4.26-16 which modprobe is in.

why is it doing this? should i dl module-init-tools and compile the
latest version?

any help would be grateful.

Try just using
"rmmod module_name"
and
"insmod module_name"
instead of modprobe. I used Fedora Core 1 for some time and this is how I worked with modules.
