Kernel Modules

[horneyrabbit]

After compiling a new kernel to be faster and more dynamic http://www.linuxnewbie.org/ubb/smile.gif) which it is now... i noticed on startup that i lots of error messages about modules, but which do not need to be loaded anymore and therefore are obselite. my query is this - why does it check these modules? and, how do i get rid of them showing up in my startup?

thanks if anybody could help

Try removing the lines with those modules in them from /etc/conf.modules. Some startup scripts (on my RH6.2 box, it is /etc/rc.d/rc.sysinit) will check this file for certain kinds and try to load them on startup.

well its debian so it has /etc/modules and i removed all of the modules, i recompiled my kernel again and included all modules i use in it, it works fine now http://www.linuxnewbie.org/ubb/smile.gif but its still strange that the kernel wants to find those modules

i think it has something to do with the map file but i dont understand how that file works myself
