[SOLVED]kernel26-ck-core2 help

Hi,
This may seem blatantly obvious to some, however, I have not been able to find the answer. Sorry if this seems obvious but this is my first month working with Linux legitimately ever and am unable to get my modules to load after installing kernel26-ck. They fail on boot. I have found the modules directory residing in /lib/modules/2.6.39-ck. How do I use this with my boot up instead of the standard ARCH one?

Could you list which modules are failing and where the "fail" message/event occurs?

Is it upon boot, where the "MODULES LOADING" is reporting [FAIL] or when you try to launch an application? as an example

In your /etc/rc.conf file, what do you have listed within the [Modules] section (array)? is it empty?

johan1391 · 2011-07-16 20:29:33

yes it is upon boot and reports a [FAIL] as you initially mention. My modules array is as follows:

nvidia-bl wl acpi-cpufreq uvcvideo coretemp vboxdrv hfs hfsplus

Forgot to rebuild vboxdrv with that kernel?

I did, however I removed it and I'm still experiencing the same problem. maybe something to do with nvidia-ck and broadcom-wl-ck modules?

Sorry, forgot to mention it's the kernel26-ck-core2 variety.

Well In your post above you have 'nvidia-bl' and not 'nvidia-ck' in your array modules. Is a misspelling problem?

nvidia shouldn't be listed there at all. Xorg takes care of that.

@op - try an experiment for me: remove all entries from your MODULES array, reboot. Once rebooted, manually modprobe each one by hand and see if you get an error... i.e.

# modprobe wl
# modprobe acpi-cpufreq
... etc

BTW, as others have mentioned, the nvidia module doesn't need to go in the array, and it's simply named, 'nvidia' not 'nvidia-ck' or anything else.
Also, vboxdrv needs the kernel26-ck-core2-headers packages and you must rebuild it manually whenever there is a new release via "/etc/rc.d/vboxdrv setup"

All of the other modules in your array should be just fine to load. Please report back either way in this thread.

removing the nvidia entry in the modules array seemed to do the trick. Now if I could just get my wireless working...

Manually starting all modules was successful as well as booting up with the omitted nvidia.

For wireless I recommend Wicd. Check out the Wiki.

Glad to hear it. I assume you reconstructed your MODULES array. with the correct ones.
As to your wireless, are you certain you need the wl module? What hardware do you have?

Post the output of:

$ lspci | grep -i net

Arch Linux
