slackware with 2.6.10 and 2.4.31

**nima0102** · 10-21-2006

hi everybody;
I had installed Slackware 10.2 with kernel 2.4.31,yesterday , I compiled kernel 2.6.10. but when that is booted with 2.6.10, the modules in modules.conf are not loaded but with kernel 2.4.10 all of the modules in modules.conf perfectly and completely are loaded.
thanks for any help and guide.

do you mean /etc/rc.d/rc.modules? thats where you should be choosing what modules to load, not modules.conf

Hi
very thanks for your reply
No, I did n't mean /etc/rc.d/ modules.
modules.conf:

Code:

alias /dev/ttySHSF* hsfserial
alias char-major-240 hsfserial
alias /dev/ttyCUA* hsfserial
alias char-major-241 hsfserial
alias /dev/modem hsfserial
alias char-major-10-63 sonypi
options sonypi minor=63 fnkeyinit=1
options hsfserial serialmajor=240 calloutmajor=241
# --- BEGIN: Generated by ALSACONF, do not edit. ---
# --- ALSACONF version 1.0.9a ---
alias char-major-116 snd
alias char-major-14 soundcore
alias sound-service-0-0 snd-mixer-oss
alias sound-service-0-1 snd-seq-oss
alias sound-service-0-3 snd-pcm-oss
alias sound-service-0-8 snd-seq-oss
alias sound-service-0-12 snd-pcm-oss
alias snd-card-0 snd-intel8x0
alias sound-slot-0 snd-intel8x0
# --- END: Generated by ALSACONF, do not edit. ---

but modules related to hsfmodem and sound card are not loaded.
1-can I delete old kernel 2.4.31 ? by deleting old kernel is solved this problem.
2-can I install again the slackware with 2.6.10 without 2.4.31?
thanks for any help and guide.

I thought modules.conf was simply for module aliases and options

its not where you choose to load modules, hence why they arent loading.

You don't need to reinstall slackware.

Install the kernel-module & kernel-generic package from cd 2.
Its in "testing directory"

and then add an entry to lilo.conf
run lilo

ok...
thanks for your guide,
but I still have the problem.
how do I solve this problem???
because, I connect to Internet through dial up ,so if the modules of related to Hsfmodem are not loaded, I can't connect to Internet.

Does this relates to your problem?

How did you configured modem in 2.4.31 kernel?
