Hello
I was wondering why modprobe give this error on a VPS:
modprobe: FATAL: Could not load /lib/modules/2.6.18-92.1.18.el5.028stab060.8/modules.dep: No such file or directory

How can I solve this? Is this a problem on the node or on the VPS?
And no matter what the modprobe command is, you will always get this error.

Hi.

How did you install the kernel?
It seems somehow 'depmod' did not create its database correctly.

i guess you should try to run something like "depmod -a" or similar to fix this.

Hope this helps.

Do I have to do that on the node or on the VPS?

On the Hardware Node.

This hasn't solved the problem.
I have copied the /lib/modules/kernelname to the VPS, but now I get this:
FATAL: Could not open '/lib/modules/2.6.18-128.1.1.el5.028stab062.3/kernel/drivers /net/tun.ko': No such file or directory

WHat could the problem be?

Hi.

well, we can try to find out the root of this issue, but i'd like to ask - what do you want to achieve at the very end? "modprobe" won't work in any case _inside_ a Container, modules can be loaded from the Hardware Node only!

(if you ask me why - just think how simple would be to crash the whole Hardware Node if you allow to load kernel module from inside a CT: assume you bought a Container from a hosting provider, write a module which divides by zero and load it => there will be a kernel crash, i.e. all the Containers are down which is unacceptable).
