Sometimes the problem with your cable TV reception really *is* that the power is unplugged, after all. That said, do you also have KMOD (Automatic kernel module loading) set? I can't think of anything else that might have any affect on this, unless the problem is with the specific modules that you're trying to load/unload. Holly -- gentoo-user@gentoo.org mailing list

[gentoo-user] can't unload modules
Hello everyone, The ATI FAQ recommends compiling module unloading into the kernel, which I did. Then I tried modprobing the various requisite modules to see what would work, fglrx, radeon, nvidia-agp etc. But I found I couldn't rmmod anything; got FATAL, Module unloading unavailable(something like that). Does that advanced feature under module unloading need to be checked as well? I thought I'd check with the list about it. FAQ doesn't say. -mw __ Do You Yahoo!? Tired of spam? Yahoo!

Sounds like a forgotten make mrproper or make clean before a full build? Aren't they for 2.4.x kernels? I'm using a 2.6.11. You need to rebuild the kernel proper - it's responsible for loading and unloading modules. Rebuilding just the modules won't help you.

Re: [gentoo-user] can't unload modules
Run a make clean on the kernel source tree and then a make make modules_install and see what happens. Perhaps that will solve it. -MikeOn 8/2/05, James Hiscock [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: Sounds like a forgotten make mrproper or make clean before a full build? Aren't they for 2.4.x kernels?

It is very convenient if you accidentally blitz your .config file, which you will do if you use make mrproper without backing up) __ Do You Yahoo!? Tired of spam? Yahoo!
