    Error message on boot up

    I have tried booting to several different PCs and see the same error message - modprobe: FATAL: could not read '/lib/modules/2.6.11/kernel/drivers/input/tsdev.ko': not a directory. I have searched the boot cd and could not find the listed directory. Has anyone encountered this and may I ask what this is and what it does? I am a newbie. Thanks.

    Re: Error message on boot up

    Seems it concerns something called a tristate "Touchscreen interface".

    Just doing a grep on the kernel sources comes up with...

    Code:
    Documentation directory:
    
    ]$ grep tsdev *
    
    kernel-parameters.txt:  tsdev.xres=     [TS] Horizontal screen res           olution.
    kernel-parameters.txt:  tsdev.yres=     [TS] Vertical screen resol           ution.
    
    
    
    From the main trunch:
    
    ]$ grep -rl tsdev .
    ./drivers/input/Kconfig
    ./drivers/input/Makefile
    ./drivers/input/tsdev.c
    ./Documentation/kernel-parameters.txt
    
    
    In the Kconfig file:
    
    config INPUT_TSDEV
    	tristate "Touchscreen interface"
    	depends on INPUT
    	---help---
    	  Say Y here if you have an application that only can understand the
    	  Compaq touchscreen protocol for absolute pointer data. This is
    	  useful namely for embedded configurations.
    
    	  If unsure, say N.
    config INPUT_TSDEV_SCREEN_X
    	int "Horizontal screen resolution"
    	depends on INPUT_TSDEV
    	default "240"
    
    config INPUT_TSDEV_SCREEN_Y
    	int "Vertical screen resolution"
    	depends on INPUT_TSDEV
    	default "320"
    As your booting of a cd i ... seems strange. Look for a cheatcode to kill the directory.

    Look at the init script on the cd and grep for that. You might just have a cd with an error on it. No idea uther than that, really though.

    There may be some hint in those files though.
