I am working on installing slack-9.1 and am having some problems.

The install uses custom .tag files per- the customer that built the .iso, anyways.... seems they left something out because after i get done with the install and rebooted i got several messages about modprob not being present and modules.dep count not be opened because there was no such file.

I went to /lib/modules/ and there is nothing there. should it not have a 2.4.18 dir with all the needed modules? What do i need to do in order to get /lib/modules/2.4.18 made with all the neccessary files?

OK, searched google and found that modprob etc.. was part of the kernel modules tools. So.. i mounted the slack-9.1 cd and installed module-init-tools.tgz and this seemed to install modprobe but there is still no 2.4.18 dir under /lib/modules and depmod or modprob, i am not at the center now, keeps saying on reboot that /lib/modules/2.4.18/modules.dep cant be found. I make a 2.4.18 dir but this did not seems to help. I also used vi to uncomment the driver for the card but again upon rebooting it says it cant find the module. The slackware book says to add netmods from the /n3 dir but there is no /n3 dir or a netmods.tgz. I have looked on the ftp and do not see a /n3 file there either.

Please help me with this.

thanks and have a great day.

What does the paths in /etc/modules.conf say?

There was not one, there was not anything under /lib/modules either.. I had to install modprobe too.
I think all i need is how to or what to install that make the /lib/modules/2.4.18 dir with all the stuff that should have been there and i assume this is where the netmods, that the book refers to,... if i could find the darn package.

Thanks...

If you installed the kernel source then you need to:

That will install the modules into /lib/modules/'uname -r'
