Can't see other reports on this in the lists **. When I upgraded to lk 2.5.48, my kernel can't load modules. modprobe and friends all fail with:
QM_MODULES: Function not implemented

RH8.0 base system. Suggestions?

** Tried Adam J. Richter patch from lkml entitled:
"Patch(2.5.48): Restore module device ID tables" but it didn't help.

The entire method the kernel uses to construct and load modules changed in 2.5.48. You need Rusty's new module loader routines:

z

For the record, I still can't get quite a few modules to load even with this.

James,
Thanks. I made some progress. Hope Rusty is going to write some documentation, man pages, update the Changes file, etc.

The new modprobe doesn't seem to pass parameters (options) properly, at least that is what I'm seeing with scsi_debug.

Enough other things are broken with 2.5.48 to force me back to lk 2.4.18 .
