I got the modutils-2.4.21-10 SRPM package from ftp.kernel.org/pub/linux/kernel/people/rusty/modules. I verified that it contains both the old modutils and the new module-init-tools source code. I built it and installed the resulting RPM on my Red Hat 8.0 machine. When I boot, I get messages about modprobe failing: Dec 27 08:56:39 tricia modprobe: FATAL: Module hid not found. Dec 27 08:56:39 tricia rc.sysinit: Initializing USB HID interface: failed Dec 27 08:56:39 tricia modprobe: FATAL: Module keybdev not found. Dec 27 08:56:39 tricia rc.sysinit: Initializing USB keyboard: failed Dec 27 08:56:39 tricia modprobe: FATAL: Module mousedev not found. Dec 27 08:56:39 tricia rc.sysinit: Initializing USB mouse: failed and none of my modules get loaded. If I boot the stock Red Hat 8.0 kernel using the new modutils, everything seems to work fine (and its a lot more modular than the 2.5.53 kernel I am trying to use). I have a modules.conf file, but I think I read somewhere that the newer modutils want a modprobe.conf file which I dont have. That may be the problem, but thats just a guess (and I dont know what should go in that file). I would certainly appreciate any suggestions anyone might have for fixing my setup. I would like to help test the 2.5.X kernels, but this has been an difficult series of kernels to follow casually. Hopefully this is the last big obstacle. Thanks, Jim
