Full Discussion: How do I load kernel modules so BestCrypt will work
Operating Systems Linux SuSE How do I load kernel modules so BestCrypt will work Post 58143 by CTroxtell21 on Sunday 14th of November 2004 07:22:47 PM
Old 11-14-2004
As you can see below I tryed the #insmod but for some reason I don't know how to use it or something but it keeps throwing back an error. With modprobe it don't give an error but it still gives an error on trying to run bctool. Am I using these commands right and do I need to install just the module I need to use like blowfish? I done a #man modprobe and noticed this:

modprobe looks in the module directory /lib/modules/?uname -r? for all the modules and other files, except for the optional /etc/modprobe.conf or /etc/modprobe.d (see modprobe.conf(5)).
I checked but there is no such directory or file in /lib/modules/ there is just the 2.6.8-24-default, precompiled and scripts folder in here.

linux:/etc # modprobe cryptoloop
linux:/home/chris/Desktop # insmod blowfish
insmod: can't read 'blowfish': No such file or directory
linux:/home/chris/Desktop # modprobe blowfish
linux:/home/chris/Desktop # bctool

LEARN ABOUT DEBIAN

dh_installmodules

DH_INSTALLMODULES(1)						     Debhelper						      DH_INSTALLMODULES(1)

NAME

       dh_installmodules - register modules with modutils

SYNOPSIS

       dh_installmodules [debhelperoptions] [-n] [--name=name]

DESCRIPTION

       dh_installmodules is a debhelper program that is responsible for registering kernel modules.

       Kernel modules are searched for in the package build directory and if found, preinst, postinst and postrm commands are automatically
       generated to run depmod and register the modules when the package is installed.	These commands are inserted into the maintainer scripts by
       dh_installdeb(1).

FILES

       debian/package.modprobe
	   Installed to etc/modprobe.d/package.conf in the package build directory.

       debian/package.modules
	   These files were installed for use by modutils, but are now not used and dh_installmodules will warn if these files are present.

OPTIONS

       -n, --noscripts
	   Do not modify preinst/postinst/postrm scripts.

       --name=name
	   When this parameter is used, dh_installmodules looks for and installs files named debian/package.name.modprobe instead of the usual
	   debian/package.modprobe

NOTES

       Note that this command is not idempotent. dh_prep(1) should be called between invocations of this command. Otherwise, it may cause multiple
       instances of the same text to be added to maintainer scripts.

SEE ALSO

       debhelper(7)

       This program is a part of debhelper.
