i have compiled my linux box with the latest kernel twice....however, i am still getting the same problem. I did eneablethe loadable module support and kernel module loader.

when I boot into my new kernel image, i did a lsmod to check what are the modules loaded, this is what i have got,

# lsmod
Module Size Used by
#

This is the only line that output after i key in the command

and I run depmod -a 2.4.18 in directory /lib/modules gives me nothing too

pls help

Are there any modules in /lib/modules/2.4.18?
Did you do "make modules" and "make modules_install" during the kernel compile?

yes, there are modules inside /lib/modules/2.4.18 &

yes, I did make modules and make modules_install

here's what i have done after configuring my kernel:

make dep
make clean
make bzImage
make modules
make modules_install

When you were doing the config did you say 'Y' or 'M' for the items that you wanted as modules?

Are you sure there SHOULD be any modules loaded?
When i boot into my slack, i don't have any modules loaded either. After I've started some software which needs some modules, then the modules load just fine. (i.e.: X, audio, cdrom).

I indicated 'm' for the modules which i wanted to load during my config.

theguide,

yes, there should be modules loaded, as i am booting my laptop with my PCMCIA card inserted. the card servie is started and of course the card module should load.
