farsync or syncppp modules did not load | use the following command to check module dependencies:
depmod -a If unresolved symbols are reported for farsync.o and syncppp.0 in the /usr/src/linux/drivers/misc directory then delete these files. (They belong in the net directory, and the ones in misc are just left lying around, but are being picked up first).
Try depmod -a again. and if there are no unresolved symbols for farsync.o and syncppp.o then see if the farsync module will now load. Use the following command: modprobe farsync if no errors are reported use the following command to see if the module has been loaded: lsmod You should see the farsync and syncppp modules listed. |
