The 64 bit modules were not updated with the rest of the nvidia drivers.

It does not seem to work for me. I get messages of unknown symbols in nVidia module. Micro core 3.7.1 is the last I can get to work. I follow the specified installation procedure but get errors when typing "sudo Xorg -configure". It looks for all the world like the nVidia module does not match the kernel.

i2c modules are not loaded automatically

i dunno which to blame for, latest busybox modprobe maybe

temporary fix
Code: [Select]
sudo modprobe i2c-core
sudo modprobe nvidia

I don't have nvidia hardware to test with, but perhaps could this be another extension like alsa that may require the depmod extension?

Whilst including 'depmod.tcz' appears to fix some issues I wonder whether it is possible to track down exactly in which way BusyBox 'depmod' is deficient. That way it would be possible to raise a bug report and get it fixed (sooner or later).

Busybox does not create the files below in /lib/modules/`uname -r`.  I am sure it is by design to keep it small.

Code: [Select]
modules.alias.bin
modules.ccwmap
modules.dep.bin
modules.ieee1394map
modules.inputmap
modules.isapnpmap
modules.ofmap
modules.pcimap
modules.seriomap
modules.symbols.bin
modules.usbmap
