Why is that? I can see that there seems to be a requirement, but is that something that is in the 2.4.x series or is that a distrobution quirk?

Oh yeah, thanks for the HOWTO!

Hi,
Presrently we are using kernel 2.4.18-14.
I compiled the RH kernel 2.4.25 on 2.4.18.
All the "make" steps gone fine.But in the make modules, modules_install step it throws the message "nothing done".
When i booted the server with new kernel(2.4.25), It doesn't load many modules.Because in make module& modules_install step, it did not build the new modules.

I found this "howto" pdf in a website, It has solution. By including the some "C" code.

But i don't know in which file to include that code and where is that file.

Can anyone please Help me?

Regards,
Jayaprakash
