[NTLUG:Discuss] Lilo won't remap new kernel (2.4.13)

[Aaron Goldblatt]

> I am getting a mess of "Can't locate module".  The modules involved are;

root at machine:kernel/source/dir$ make modules ; make modules_install

Also note that your startup scripts can look for modules that you don't 
have/need, like pcmcia.  That's for laptops, and you don't need it for a 
desktop machine.  You'll need to look at your module configuration to pick 
and choose what you need, even if you don't use modules.

I, for example, choose not to use modules and instead build everything I need 
directly into the monolithic kernel.  This is theoretically wasteful of 
memory, and supposedly Linux includes a feature to auto-install and 
auto-remove modules as needed, but I've never played with it and don't have 
the time it takes to properly investigate it on a production machine.

I believe there is a Module HOWTO either already installed on your machine 
(if you installed the HOWTOs for your distribution) or at 
http://www.linux.org/ under documentation, howto.

YMMV.
