Hello

I have been trying for some time now to install a new module into USB Feather - a version of KNOPPIX (latest version of the USB seems to be 0.7.4) to support my wireless USB card. I am now stuck and would appreciate any ideas?

Firstly, I am now able to un-cloop KNOPPIX into a filesystem, make changes and then compress this back and boot from it off the USB and all works fine! I have copied all the files to my harddisk,

cp –Rupv /mnt/cloop0 /root/download/k

To enter into the Feather environment:

chroot /root/download/k/cloop0

mount –t proc /proc proc

This seems to work fine.

I now want to install the new driver (see http://zd1211.ath.cx/wiki) for my card. This I have compiled and called zd1211.o. [as an aside, I have installed this on my SUSE PC and it works fine!]

I copied this file to /lib/modules/2.4.27/net

(there are a number of other network related drivers here too!)

Still in the “chroot?, I try: depmod –a

I get an error:

depmod: QM_MODULES: Function not implemented

I have checked the version of depmod (that is in /sbin) and it returns 2.4.26. Any ideas why this will not run in my “chroot? environment?

If I boot from my USB, and do depmod –a, it works fine, but then cannot open /lib/modules/2.4.27/modules.dep to write the results (I guess this is ro on the USB).

Any help appreciated as my already think hair is getting worse!!

Thanks

Nick
