RE: [TCLUG:3800] Modules

[Ben Kochie <ben@nerp.net>]

just as a note, you should allways cut/paste some of the error messages..
"can't load the modules" doesn't give very much information, and just makes it
harder to figure out what is wrong.  which modules are you trying to load, what
commands you are trying to load with, in this case you don't have to post what
distribution you are using.. since kernel has nothing to do with which distro.

my guess is that you have never upgraded your modutils, you will have to either
download the updated package, or you will have to download from ftp.kernel.org
"modutils-2.1.121"  it's in the v2.1 directory.  configure, make, make install

to find out what version you have.  "insmod -V"  this upgrade is listed in
"/usr/src/linux/Documentation/Changes" as required. 

if you are using debian, you will have to remove
/usr/include/linux
/usr/include/asm
/usr/include/scsi

these directories must be changed to symlinks
cd /usr/include
ln -s /usr/src/linux/include/linux 
ln -s /usr/src/linux/include/asm
ln -s /usr/src/linux/include/scsi

then re-compile your kernel, and re-install it.
