modprobe: cannot parse modules.dep?!
how can i get modprobe working?
im sure this already been fixed but i couldnt find any tutorials etc. about how to do it.

[I'm assuming that this is an N8x0-related question, because modprobe works on the N900]

A depmod binary that works on the N8x0 can be found here.

I don't have my N8X0s around anymore to verify, but I believe the modules from /mnt/initfs/lib/modules needed to be symlinked to /lib/modules/current so that depmod would see them. Something like that, anyway.

symlinking is ok by:
ln -s /mnt/initfs/lib/modules /lib/modules

but what to do about depmod file ?

where to put depmod file?
/usr/bin ???
it says permission denied even when i try to run it as root

ok i got it working
by
chmod +x /usr/bin/depmod

"chmod +x" it. Invoke it by doing "depmod -a" or something similar.

pff one another problem
insmod usbserial.ko ##OK
modprobe usbserial vendor=0x1a86 product=0x7523
modprobe result = usbserial not found :/ :/
i guess made something wrong about linking??

where to put that usbserial.ko file instead of insmod
so , if i copy it via emelfm it might fix the problem
btw i noticed
there is /etc/modules directory on maemo
on most sites they say there is a modules directory
also i havent got modules.conf in etc
