modprobe problems
 

yeah, i'm having more problems... i'm trying to get my sound going, and i'm getting close, but when i try this:

modprobe snd-via82xx;modprobe snd-pcm-oss;modprobe snd-mixer-oss;modprobe snd-seq-oss

i get this:

i think there might be something wrong, because i got the same error message when i was trying to get my video drivers going (invalid module format)

any suggestions?

What's your output for : /sbin/modprobe --version
?

Hello,
This looks like the newer module init tools were not installed correctly. I will post the readme from the src, notice the part about make links if installing in default /usr/local, and make moveold if installing in sbin. Modprobe will not work if this is not done.
READ INSTRUCTIONS CAREFULLY, OTHERWISE YOU MAY DESTROY YOUR OLD UTILS!

1a) If you want to install in /sbin:
./configure --prefix=/
make moveold (if installing for the first time).

"make moveold" renames the old insmod, modprobe, rmmod and lsmod to
insmod.old, modprobe.old, rmmod.old and lsmod.old, and the matching
manpages.

OR,

1b) If you want to install in /usr/local/sbin:
./configure
make links

"make links" makes links to the previous insmod, modprobe, rmmod and
lsmod (which are in /sbin) in /usr/local/sbin

2) Now, build it:
make
make install

3) If running for the first time, you might want to convert your old
modules.conf to modprobe.conf:

./generate-modprobe.conf /etc/modprobe.conf

4) If you are using devfs, copy modprobe.devfs to /etc

5) You will need to run "depmod" for your new kernel, eg:

depmod 2.5.50

6) If you want to hack on the source:
aclocal && automake --add-missing --copy && autoconf

If this is all too complicated, I recommend getting and installing the
source rpm or debian package instead.
