Module problems after 2.4 upgrade

Module problems after 2.4 upgrade

[PORTER,CHRISTOPHER B]

KERNEL: 2.4.20-8
OS: Redhat 9 (Shrike)

I've installed the SE kernel, done make bzdisk, and done make 
modules and make modules_install. Everything exited successfully, 
and the floppy boots fine. However, when the system goes to start 
various services and load modules, I get a range of problems such 
as those that follow:

"modprobe: Can't locate module ..."

"Do you need to install insmod?"

I double-checked and made sure that loadable module support WAS 
compiled in. I tried once before to grab new modutils but it 
didn't pan out. Any suggestions or known problems?


Thank you,

Have you relabeled your /lib/modules? Only matters if you boot up in
enforcing mode, which is not clear from your message.

Just a random thought, because I stumbled over this two times today.

Friendly,
Thomas

I'm not familiar with the process of or need to relabel that 
directory. After compiling the kernel to a floppy disk I did "make 
modules" and "make modules_install", which both seemed to work. 
I'm a bit boggled as to why the system then can't find the modules 
when it can if I simply remove the floppy and boot from the non-SE 
kernel. In other words, the configuration files haven't changed.


Thanks for the suggestion though,
