Module not found when I do a modprobe
If the module .ko file is really under /lib/modules/4.3.3-5-default/extra/
and 4.3.3-5-default
is indeed your current kernel version, then the problem may simply be that you need to run depmod
to re-create the module dependency list. Run:
sudo depmod
and try again to modprobe
the module.
My solution is unique, but in my system I rebuilt the kernel and took out a module. I installed the vendors module and could not get the system to boot using the vendors module. In my case I forgot to move all the /lib/modules info, so modules.builtin
still had the module, that I was upgrading. Manually removing the module from modules.builtin
and doing the depmod -a
fixed my problem.
