[gentoo-user] no net modules will load

[maxim wexler]

Hi group,

After running -Du gentoo-sources, I noted that
/etc/modules.autoload.d/2.6 had been overwritten by a
blank form. So I re-wrote it and rebooted. All, and
*only* modules having to do with net stuff, ie, ppp,
eth0, serial devices etc failed to load.

Here's a sample from dmesg:
kb

ppp_generic: disagrees about version of symbol

ppp_generic: Unknown symbol skb_queue_purge

Similar for forcedeth, serial_8250 etc.

Sound, video, timers etc all loaded OK. 

>From the forums I found the suggestion to save
.config, do a make mrproper, copy back the config and
re-compile. Had no effect. So I figured, since I just
downloaded the 2.6.16-r3 sources(been using 2.6.12-r6)
I should just compile a fresh kernel.
But that didn't work either.

Here's my /etc/modules.autoload.d/kern-2.6:

# /etc/modules.autoload.d/kernel-2.6:  kernel modules
to load when system boots.
#
# Note that this file is for 2.6 kernels.
#
# Add the names of modules that you'd like to load
when the system
# starts into this file, one per line.  Comments begin
with # and
# are ignored.  Read man modules.autoload for
additional details.

# For example:
# 3c59x
#ip_conntrack_ftp
#ip_conntrack_irc
#ip_tables
#ipt_mac
#ipt_REDIRECT
#ipt_REJECT
#ip_nat_ftp
#iptable_filter
#ip_nat_irc
#ipt_LOG
#ipt_iprange
#ipt_pkttype
#ipt_MASQUERADE
#iptable_nat
#ipt_multiport
#ip_conntrack
#binfmt_aout
#slhc
8250
unix
#af_packet

snd-intel8x0

soundcore
forcedeth
ppp_async
ppp_generic
ppp_deflate

ohci-hcd
usbhid
usb-storage
agpgart

loop
#serport
#s2io
rtc
#mii
#acpiphp
#pci_hotplug

Here's a grep "net" from the new .config:

Now I'm stuck cause I can't get back on line to fix
it. Unless it's from WinXP:^(
