Installed 2.6 during install - no modules
I chose the 2.6 kernal image when installing Slack 10.2 but it never installed my modules! I have no 2.6.13 folder in /lib/modules!!
How can I fix this? |

Did the same thing over the weekend and had to wait for my disks to download and burn on a seperate machine before getting the modules installed! oops.
Anyway, found that following the instructions in /testing/packages/linux-2.6.13/README.initrd helped solve everything. |
I have installed slack 10.2 on three different machines now and selected the 2.6 kerenel durine install. I have had no problems whatsoever with also using reiserfs without having to do anything to the intrd.
1. Do normal install (select partions and type ,ie reiser) 2. When asked for kernel, select 2.6 (test I think it was) 3. Reboot system 4. Log in as root 5. mount cd2 6. cd /2.6.13 7. Upgradepkg *.tgz 8. Reboot, log in as root finish setting up system i.e alsaconf, alsamixer, alsactl store, xorgsetup. All three systems worked flawlessly afterwords. |
The problem with test26.s kernel is that includes a lot of stuff built-in into the kernel to be able to install without modules, you should install the one at testing/ after install. The lack of modules is explained at RELEASE_NOTES.

EDIT: I spoke too soon. I did have to do a kernel recompile to remove the default selection for nVidia Framebuffer support and Riva support as modules. Well, at least I've gotten accustomed to this necessity. The nVidia driver is now installed and working properly. |
