kernel 2.5.65/modutils 2.4.21/tools 0.9.10: /etc/modules.conf ignored?

[Michael Frank]

Hello,

- I have installed the above and encounter that all aliases in 
/etc/modules.conf don't work with 2.4.65. The same system is ok 
with 2.4.21-pre5.

- Setups tried include RH 7.3 and 8.094, MDK 9.1pre.

- excerpt from /etc/modules.conf
 alias eth0 eepro100
 alias char-major-10-135 rtc

- Aliases can't be probed

modprobe eth0 
 Fatal: module eth0 not found
modprobe char-major-10-135 
 Fatal: module char-major-10-135  not found

- Modules can be probed:

modprobe eepro100
 (ok)
modprobe rtc
 (ok)

Driver works after restarting network


What did I miss? Thank you for your input

	Michael

Uh? Are you using Rusty's latest 2.5.x modutils? If so, 
/etc/modules.conf has been superseded by /etc/modprobe.conf. 
Take a look at modutils configuration and extra utils, as there is 
a tools used to automatically migrate from modules.conf to 
modprobe.conf. 
 
I haven't had problems wirh module aliases. For example, 
iso9660 is called isofs in 2.5, so I set up an alias for this 
module.

Felipe,

Thank you very much for this input. I use rusty's latest modutils and rpmbuild those from SRPM  never seing the documentation hidden in .

For those who might have the same problem, I found info in module-init-tools-0.9.10/README available from http://www.kernel.org/pub/linux/kernel/people/rusty/modules

It is working now.

Thank you you again,
Michael
