I've had this same problem using 2.5.47bk4 from kernel.org.

I also noticed that make modules_install no longer runs depmod, so my 
module dependencies didn't get set up until I ran depmod manually which then 
exposed the QM_MODULES problem.

2.5.47 bk latest pull

i get this when i try to insert a module(psmouse) or do a depmod:

QM_MODULES : Function not implemented

any suggestions.

this is on the latest BK pull ~6:00 CDT

Jeff Garzik replied with this:

Are you using the Rusty's modutils, or the old, no-longer-works-with-2.5 
modutils?

i was still using modutils 2.4.19  so that is the problem.

i asked jeff where the new modutils is and he replied:

search for Rusty's module-related patches on lkml, I don't have a URL 
handy, sorry :(

They don't work with 2.4.x... currently there is a hack solution where 
Rusty's modutils "make install" renames the current modutils to 
<program>.old.  Then when you run Rusty's modprobe, if it's a 2.4 
kernel, the program will do nothing more than exec modprobe.old.  (I 
don't like it that way, but such as it is with a development kernel...)


anybody have the url for these new modutils?

you need the new modutils:
