Two problems after compiling 2.5.70

lsmod no longer works, says: QM_MODULES: Function not implemented.. couldn't find anything in the modules section that looked related.

Next..

I can't open up a terminal in x.  I forgot to write down the error but it was something like.. no tty available or something.

This is what was selected in the kernel:
Virtual terminal
  Support for consoles on virtual terminal
Unix98 PTY Support
  256 Maxium connections available for Unix98

(I didn't try opening a terminal before recompiling so I'm not exactly sure that it's related)

Fixed 2nd problem:  didn't have devpts in fstab

Still dunno about first one though..  QM_MODULES: Function not implemented

Thanks for any help

Re: Two problems after compiling 2.5.70

Do you have module-init-tools installed?
Those newer kernels need that. It is backwards compatible as long as you install it correctly.
You can get em here http://his.luky.org/ftp/mirrors/linux/k … y/modules/
(get the latest 0.9.12)

Also see my post about this at http://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?t=692&highlight=

I have also encountered the second problem.....what exactly did you add to your fstab?

none     /dev/pts    devpts    gid=5,mode=620         0      0

(gid=5 is tty for me, might be different for someone else)

Re: Two problems after compiling 2.5.70

Hey.. I tried installing the module-init-tools and that didn't fix it.  I'm in gnome and when I pressed CTRL-ALT-F1 and it said something like, QFILES Not found.   Can't get it to say it anymore tho..

Thanks, that did the trick.

I'd like to be able to help you with the module problem you were having but the module-initi-tools  were my best guess.
