Did you upgrade your module-init-tools (insmod, lsmod, ....) ?

Ok!I do that now))
I think it's possible that you can help me to understand what different
between old module for kernell 2.4 and new module fo 2.6?
And where can I look for the modutils ver 2.6?

the lwn webpage have a article on modules of kernel 2.6 (http://lwn.net/Articles/driver-porting/ ,exactly ) and talk about on some differences with 2.6 kernel

the new version of kernel changed much things, the load module for example, and scheduling were the most commented.

the module-init-tools that you need, you can download from  http://www.kernel.org/pub/linux/kernel/people/rusty/modules/module-init-tools-0.9.15-pre2.tar.gz it is last version

A really good source of information is Dave J. kernel-2.5 document.
Find it on www.codemonkey.org.uk

I'm not sure If I understand you correctly, but did you do "make
modules_install"?

Yes i make it))Kernel comile and modules was done (make modules after
that make modules_install)And than reboot....
But after that I type insmod <module_name> and I see on a screen a
LITTLE warning (fatal error) that talk to me module can be load to the
kernel becouse it have old format))
I think than I must look for modutils (witch can support kernell 2.6 new
modules format) but I can't find it...

insmod module.ko, not insmod module.o

Or (preferable) use modprobe module

modutils are for before 2.6.
2.6 uses module-init-tools only.

Not really an improvement IMHO. The returned errors are unclear, the tools 
seem to ignore the verbose command line option. As a result I have been 
fighting with ALSA modules, modprobe.conf and modules.conf for days now. I've 
not managed to get all dependancies right yet, the only way to get my SB Live 
working is loading 20 modules by hand, one at a time... Somehow modprobe 
remains complaining about unresolved symbols.

FWIW: 2.6.0 test 6, module-init-tools 0.9.14, mandrake 9.1 with modutils 
deinstalled.
