confusing boot message

Hi,
I just compiled a new kernel and I get the following message a few times whilst booting
modprobe: QM_MODULES function is not implemented

Can anyone tell me waht this means?
Presumably I have done something wrong in building the new kernel?

thanks
Ludwig

I think QM_MODULES is an older function that is no longer used, and you may have a config file somewhere that calls that function. Just a guess. Did you try doing a search for that, either here or on Google?

Hi again, Ludwig :D

You need to update your module-init-tools to make it work with the 2.6 kernel.

Get the latest version from here:
ftp://ftp.kernel.org/pub/linux/kerne...rusty/modules/
(Think the latest is module-init-tools-3.0-pre5.tar.bz2)

Install it like this:
1 ) mkdir /opt
2 ) cd to the directory you downloadeded the module-init-tools.
3 ) enter 'tar xvjpf modules-init-tools-3.0-pre5.tar.bz2 -C /opt/'
4 ) enter 'cd /opt/modules-init-tools-3.0-pre5'
5 ) enter './configure --prefix='/'
6 ) enter 'make moveold'
7 ) enter 'make'
8 ) enter 'make install'
9 ) enter './generate-modprobe.conf /etc/modprobe.conf

I haven't tried this on a RedHat machine though. The install instructions were "borrowed" from the VectorLinux.com site. I have also installed it on my VectorLinux machine with good results.

Please, let us know if it works in RedHat too.

Good luck
Martin

Thanks very much for your help.
I ran into a problem when doing the last line.
I got the message:

modprobe:QM_MODULES function not implemented

warning:not translating patch(top level)=/lib/modules/2.6

Just out of curiosity, is the error message on bootup saying that modules cannot be loaded.Is that the gist of it?

Anyway,I rebooted and got lots of errors (in red) during the bootup saying such and such a module could not be found.

Sorry, but I'm not sure what I'm doing or what is going on .
Is it some problem with the way i compiled the kernel, the new 2.6.0 kernel or something else entirely?

thanks again,
Ludwig
