modprobe xxxx not found

[waslit]

so basically long story short Ive been working with rebuilding the CD to have drivers for some things I require. Basically I zcat the core.gz file to a directory call extract. Then I rebuild the kernel using the kernel provided by tinycore and built it outside my working project. then using [root@mantaray linux-3.0.3]#make INSTALL_MOD_PATH=../extract modules_install
extract being my project directory. Then doing a depmod -a -b extract/ to get the modules in.

This has worked flawlessly since during boot it detects all the hardware without issue. The problem I'm having is when I do a modprobe ipmi_msghandler for example I get ipmi_msghandler not found. Whats weird ,to me at least, is that if I do a modprobe -l | grep ipmi it finds the module just fine.
So doing some troubleshooting, and I'm no expert, I ran strace on the call and it does go to the correct files. I even checked the files to see is it in there? and still its a no go. Now I am curious if its a pathing issue since the modules.deb etc all tart /kernel/drivers/***** instead of what I would expect /lib/modules/3.0.3-tinycore/kernel/drivers/****

Am I doing something wrong?

Something I have found is that insmod directly to the module path works. So that eliminates the modules being an issue.... maybe some patching issue? Will do more testing

Please strace the original call, "modprobe ipmi_msghandler" and pastebin the output.

The modules.dep you have is correct.

Kk will do Monday when I get back to work.

I dont believe. so basically I figured it out on accident. So when you do the mod install to the root of whatever your build is it creates a bunch of module.xxx files. Those that are needed by tc are modules.alias, modules.dep, modules.symbols. I also noticed that the symlinc for kernel.tclocal was missing. So I deleted the rest, recreated the symlink and in the honorable words of the blue guy "Shabaam!" it worked.
