Another Kernel Compile


I recently upgraded my kernel and I think I configured & compiled correctly. The problem now is that I can't seem to get any modules to load or be found. I ran make modules modules_install but that didn't really help. I'm a newbie, so this is probably something easy. Does anyone know how to rectify this situation? I read the modules HOW-TO but it wasn't a great help. Layman's terms would be great .

Nothing happens . It just says :
bash : command not found

I tried to make modules modules_install again, but no.....nothing. It compiles, just won't load.....

try /sbin/modprobe -l to get a list of all available modules.

did you make sure that you complied in modules support in the kernel configuration?

in your .bash_profile you seems NOT to have a path to /sbin, so when you tried modconf it said what it said. Anyway if ur lazy enough do /sbin/modconf

regards,
Hano
