| |
I don't know whether or not I'm the only one with this problem, but here it is... I just installed 2.1.90 today (from 2.0.33), and upgraded modutils to 2.1.85 like it says on www.linuxhq.com for required updates.
The built-in kernel module handler inserts modules fine (most notable the sound modules). However, it cannot cleanly remove unused modules. Here's a kernel error message from when it tried to automatically clean the unused modules:

Here's the output from lsmod after this happens:
root rox!! # lsmod Module Size Used by lsmod: QM_INFO: No such file or directory
Any ideas or patches? Or could it be that I'm just a complete idiot and didn't read some instructions somewhere? ;)
Thanks...
