modprobe: FATAL: Module acpi_call not found.

Hi,

[marco@Marco-HP acpi_call]$ sudo make
make -C /lib/modules/3.9.6-200.fc18.x86_64/build M=/usr/local/bin/acpi_call modules
make[1]: Entering directory `/usr/src/kernels/3.9.6-200.fc18.x86_64'
  Building modules, stage 2.

make[1]: Leaving directory `/usr/src/kernels/3.9.6-200.fc18.x86_64'
[marco@Marco-HP acpi_call]$ insmod acpi_call.ko
[marco@Marco-HP acpi_call]$ modprobe acpi_call
modprobe: FATAL: Module acpi_call not found.
[marco@Marco-HP acpi_call]$ sudo bash 
[root@Marco-HP acpi_call]# echo "\_SB.PCI0.PEG0.PEGP._OFF" > /proc/acpi/call
[root@Marco-HP acpi_call]# cat /proc/acpi/call
0x0[root@Marco-HP acpi_call]#

This call succeeds, but after a reboot /proc/acpi/call no longer exists.

[root@Marco-HP marco]# echo "\_SB.PCI0.PEG0.PEGP._OFF" > /proc/acpi/call
bash: /proc/acpi/call: File o directory non esistente

Already tried to do a depmod -a but nothing changes

Unfortunately I do not have 3.9 kernel available to test. I know there were some changes but unfortunately do not have the time to look at it. Modprobe won't work unless the module is placed somewhere it can be found.

Try placing the acpi_call.ko into /lib/modules/uname -r/updates/dkms if it exists and then running depmod -a.

"Try placing the acpi_call.ko into /lib/modules/`uname -r`/updates/dkms"

It doesn't exist

Edit: if you want I can send you a txt with the output of make -d

ReEdit: problems came with kernel 3.5+

[marccollin]

don't seem to work with kernel 3.9, 3.10.....
