[SOLVED] sudo: insmod: command not found

g_p_linux · 01-14-2012, 04:43 AM

Hello,

i'm trying to load a kernel module and i can't cause the insmod command is not found.

I did:

cd /
cd sbin
"insm" and Press Tab the command "insmod" appears
su LoginUser
password requested - password accepted
sudo insmod
sudo: insmod: command not found

In the sbin folder "insmod" appears, but when i type the command "insmod" i get a command not found

What shall i do in order to fix that?

Thanks, in advabce

Hello,

i solved it.

In the 6th step i had typed "sudo insmod" instead of "sudo /sbin/insmod"

Now it's fine,
thanks

You could have used modprobe.

use apt-get install kmod

or if your use centos then use : yum install kmod
