Please help with depmod and modules.conf!


First off: first time trying to use linux. Using Woody 3.0. Installed using the idepci i386 disks, and was able to install all of the stuff from basedebs.gz. My problem seems to be that depmod is pointing to /lib/modules/2.2.20-idepci/modules.dep. However, when everything was installed, I got /lib/modules/2.2.20-compact, so I get the error that ...-idepci/modules.deb does not exist. I tried to cp -R the contents of compact to idepci, and it seemed everything had copied correctly. When I ran depmod-a, I got a list of errors of all the *.o files within having unresolved symbols. It seems that everything did not copy directly. As far as I can figure from what I've found, I should be able to edit modules.conf to point to the 2.2.20-compact directory instead, but I can't figure out how to do that. Am I even close on either of these guesses? And if I am, can someone help me either successfully change the name of 2.2.20-compact to 2.2.20-idepci, or edit modules.conf to point depmod to 2.2.20-idepci? Thank you for your patience, please remember I am a giant . Really, like, huge.

Woody is a bit dated. Could you try a more recent installer?

Actually, I reinstalled, and it created /lib/modules/2.2.20-idepci just fine this time, so it's good now. I'm not necessarily wed to woody, I'm just trying to get something to work at this point. A new distro is probably in the not-to-distant future for me.
