Me again... I'm perpetuating this thread single-handedly :-)

The problem has returned (after reboot) so it was not fixed. I can insert the module if I change to the appropriate directory and 'insmod' so it would seem that the system doesn't know where the drivers are.

I did upgrade the kernel to 2.6.11 last week. Is it possible that something was not updated which would point the kernel to /lib/modules/2.6.11,,?

Hi all,

As I said the other day, I'm new to Arch.

As of last night I can't get the modules I need to load.
This is pretty much a show stopper as I can't get on the network, run
graphics, etc.

The (unknown) change in my system must have occurred with yesterday's
updates.

Anyhow, /etc/rc.conf looks OK in the sense that all the modules are
listed in the MODULES array.

/etc/rc.sysinit runs OK and tries to load the modules it finds in
rc.conf but the kenel says the modules are not found.

Breaker, breaker!

Before posting this I got back into Arch to see if I could find some more info. While I was running in console mode I decied to run 'vmware-config.pl' to update vmware for the new kernel. That worked fine. I then, on a whim, ran /etc/rc.sysint and all the modules loaded!

So I'm a happy camper again but, I must admit, totally perplexed as to why the vmware-config.pl step fised the problem.

Can anyone explain?

TIA.

Terry Smith
