Check loaded moduls:
lsmod cat /proc/modules
Load manually a module:
modprobe modulename #Loads module + dependencies insmod modulename #Loads just the module
Moduls are stored in:
cat /proc/moduls
Modprobe configuration:
/etc/modprobe.conf
Remove a loaded module:
rmmod modulename
Compile a Linux Kernel:
cd /usr/src/linux make dep make mrprop make clean make menuconfig make make CONFIG_DEBUG_SECTION_MISMATCH=y make modules make modules_install make install
Note:
Regular (vanilla) Kernelsources just know the command
make oldconfig
and reads in the content of the “.config” file (inside “/usr/src/linux/.config”)
The command
make cloneconfig
reads the configuration of the running kernel (/proc/config.gz) and saves it as
.config
Kernel moduls are files stored in:
/lib/modules/kernel-version/
uname -r #Show Kernel version uname -a #Show OS info cat /etc/issue #Show OS info cat /etc/SuSE-release #Show OS info cat /proc/cpuinfo cat /proc/meminfo cat /proc/mounts #Is more reliable in conflicts/problems than /etc/mtab !! cat /proc/filesystems cat /proc/partitions
