modules won't modules_install

[Andreas Achtzehn]

Hello everybody!

I am banging my head against the wall for some days now because my newly
installed LFS-system won't install my modules. I went through the book
all the way to the "install linux kernel" part with no further problems.
But here the problems comes:

I configured my kernel to have builtin PCMCIA support (since the system
is a laptop). The kernel and all modules compile. But when I run make
modules_install the system stops at:

cd /lib/modules/2.4.5; \
mkdir -p pcmcia; \
find kernel -path '*/pcmcia/*' -name '*.o' | xargs -i -r ln -sf ../{}
pcmcia
if [ -r System.map ]; then /sbin/depmod -ae -F System.map 2.4.5; fi
achtzehn:/usr/src/linux#

no further messages, no error messages at all. After installing the
netkit and nettools, going on with all scripts etc., I reboot the
system. Result: dmesg has two lines: 
Linux PCMCIA Card Services 3.1.22
options: [pci] [cardbus] [pm]

but the system won't start the eth0 interface (typical net-pf-5
messages). 

When I compile the PCMCIA support as modules the system will compile the
modules but will stop at the same point during modules_install(see
above). The directory /lib/modules/2.4.5/pcmcia contains some modules,
but when I restart with the new kernel and try to run an insmod i83625.o
(that's what my SuSE distribution does and it works perfectly) I get
unresolved symbols. The same about pcnet_cs.o. 

So, what's the matter with my system. Where is that stupid bug?

Thanks in advance,
Andreas
