the kernel directory under the path /lib/modules/kernels is empty.
Hi all,
i am a newbie. i have using fedora core 6. i had my network up and other devices working in the system . i was trying to use gcov for which i just selected it the settigs using make menuconfig command under kernel hacking. after that i reebooted the system. when i rebooted the network, sound and other devices went down. it said some error like device driver is not present. when i tried to fix the problem, i found that the kernel directory in /lib/modules/kernel/ is empty.
I found that the drivers .ko files are present in this kernel directory. all the files ans folders are missing.
due to this, my ntfs, ethernet, sound are gone. i dont know what all are missing.
Please some one help me to get back to the working kernel or get the .ko files back in the kernels directory. its urgent. plz...
what i did is here;
first downloaded the 2.6.18-gcov.patch file and placed it in the usr/src/kernels/ directory.
Then executed the command:
#patch -p1 < ../2.6.18-gcov.patch
then did a #make. but it failed.
After that executed
#make menuconfig
here i enabled the gcov options under kernel hacking
Then reebooted the system, after which i have this problem.
Plz Somebody help...
Thanks for your help in advance,
