| |
I'm using SuSE 7.1 and I had to compile the kernel to include SCSI support. That part is all well and good. The problems started when I tried to set up masquerading. Modprobe is returning the following error:
modprobe: Can't open dependencies file /lib/modules/2.4.2/modules.dep (No such file or directory)
I looked in /lib/modules/ and there the directory is called 2.4.2-4GB and not 2.4.2
I tried to fool it by creating a virtual link to the directory with the name 2.4.2 but then the modprobe returns a large number of kernal mismatch errors that the particular modules (iptable_nat) I am trying to run were written for kernel version 2.4.2-4GB and not 2.4.2
It looks like modprobe is looking for kernel version 2.4.2 but the modules are for kernel 2.4.2-4GB.
Incidentally I have another machine with the standard kernel that YaST installs on which modprobe works well and the directory in /lib/modules/ is calle 2.4.2-4GB.
Any idea as to what I'm doing wrong? Did I have to recompile the kernel to load the aic7xxx or could I have added a command in some initialisation file to load it as a module (insmod)?
Regards Mark
