A quick and dirty method for checking for kmod:Dear Raja, yes, I have compiled my kernel a no. of times. I have come to know about kernelld when reading the doc files in RH7.1. But I didn't know about Kmod. Thanks for the information. By the way , is kmod activated in RH8.0 ? or I need to compile the kernel to activate it. How can I test whether kernelld or kmod is activated ?
locate the kernel config file, (/boot/vmlinuz.config on my SuSE system), open it and search for 'CONFIG_KMOD'. If it says 'y' you possibly have kmod configured.
In one line :
# > grep CONFIG_KMOD /boot/vmlinuz.config
CONFIG_KMOD=y

This is not fool-proof as you cannot be sure that the config file IS the one used for your running kernel. There may be a better method to test the loaded kernal directly. Anybody?
