Description
Module-Init-Tools
Module-Init-Tools is a handy package that helps you manage kernel modules in Linux systems that run version 2.5.47 or later. If you're getting ready to install it, here's a simple guide to help you out!
Installing in /sbin
If you'd like to install the package in /sbin, start by running:
./configure --prefix=/
make moveoldThis is what you do if it's your first time installing. The command make moveold will rename your old commands like insmod, modprobe, rmmod, and lsmod to versions ending with .old, along with their man pages.
Installing in /usr/local/sbin
If you prefer to install it in /usr/local/sbin, use this command instead:
./configure
make linksThe make links command creates links for the old commands that are already in /sbin.
Building the Package
Next up, let's build the package! Run these commands:
make
make installMigrating Your Configuration Files
If this is your first run, you might want to convert your old configuration file. Use this command:
./generate-modprobe.conf /etc/modprobe.confIf You're Using devfs
If devfs is part of your setup, don't forget to copy modprobe.devfs into /etc.
Updating Kernel Dependencies
You'll also need to run the command below for your new kernel:
depmod 2.5.50Diving into the Source Code?
If you're feeling adventurous and want to work on the source code, here's how to set it up:
aclocal && automake --add-missing --copy && autoconfIf all of this seems a bit too much for you, I suggest looking for the source RPM or Debian package instead! For more details and downloads, check out This link!
