domU and loadable modules

domU and loadable modules

[Mike Culbertson]

I don't see an obvious answer for this anywhere: Can you use loadable kernel 
modules in a domU?  I have loadable module support enabled in my domU, but 
any module utilities I try (lsmod, insmod, modprobe) return this, as if I had 
disabled loadable module support:

modprobe: QM_MODULES: Function not implemented

If I compile everything into the kernel, all the available options I've tried 
work fine (iptables, etc), only modules produce errors. If this normal 
behavior or is there something wrong with my setup?

yes you can. modload in domU is fine.

Is this a 2.6 xenU?  Make sure you have the mod-init-tools package for
your distro installed in the domain to use modules with a 2.6 kernel.

Install module-init-tools for 2.6.

Blah, it was something as dumb as a distro issue, my domU is debian (not what 
I normally run) and I didn't even think that it was defaulting to 2.4's 
modutils.  Module tools work fine now, sorry bout that.

Did you have installed module-init-tools ?
