I used to connect to a samba server from my SuSe system, but after a kernel update (using the yast online update) I get the "smbfs filesystem not supported by the kernel" error. So they didn't compile it in and I also can't load it as a module:

Code:

izbrio:/home/nyk # modprobe smbfs

modprobe: Can't open dependencies file /lib/modules/2.4.21-266-default/modules.dep (No such file or directory)

Is there any way to fix this? Should I maybe just compile my own kernel? Is SuSe going to include it again?

tried running 'depmod' as root to build modules.dep ?

Note that you need to reboot after the kernel update. Otherwise the old kernel is still running, but the modules are the new version already.
