%general-entities; ]> Kmod Prepare Kmod for compilation: ./configure --prefix=/usr \ --bindir=/bin --sysconfdir=/etc \ --with-rootlibdir=/lib \ --with-zlib --with-xz --with-rootlibdir=/lib Install location for shared libraries. --with-zlib --with-xz This allows the Kmod package to handle zlib and XZ compressed kernel modules. Compile the package: make To test the results, issue: make check Install the package: make install Create symbolic links for programs that expect Module-Init-Tools. ln -sfv kmod /bin/lsmod for tool in depmod insmod modprobe modinfo rmmod; do ln -sfv ../bin/kmod /sbin/${tool} done Installed programs depmod (link to kmod), insmod (link to kmod), kmod, lsmod (link to kmod), modinfo (link to kmod), modprobe (link to kmod), and rmmod (link to kmod) Short Descriptions depmod Creates a dependency file based on the symbols it finds in the existing set of modules; this dependency file is used by modprobe to automatically load the required modules depmod insmod Installs a loadable module in the running kernel insmod kmod Loads and unloads kernel modules kmod lsmod Lists currently loaded modules lsmod modinfo Examines an object file associated with a kernel module and displays any information that it can glean modinfo modprobe Uses a dependency file, created by depmod, to automatically load relevant modules modprobe rmmod Unloads modules from the running kernel rmmod
