%general-entities; %patches-entities; ]> Module-Init-Tools Module-Init-Tools attempts to rewrite its modprobe.conf man page during the build process. This is unnecessary and also relies on docbook2man — which is not installed in LFS. Run the following command to avoid this: touch modprobe.conf.5 Prepare Module-Init-Tools for compilation: ./configure --prefix="" --enable-zlib --enable-zlib This allows the Module-Init-Tools package to handle compressed kernel modules. Compile the package: make To test the results, issue: make check. Install the package: make install Installed programs depmod, insmod, insmod.static, lsmod (link to insmod), modinfo, modprobe (link to insmod), and rmmod (link to insmod) 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 insmod.static A statically compiled version of insmod insmod.static 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
