insmod: applet not found

Hi!

I'm trying to add insmod to my uClinux apps, and I'm having problems: I add to the kernel the "loadable module support", and after, the insmod apps from busybox, but when I try to add my modules, I do:

"insmod crc.ko"

and it shows "crc.ko: applet not found".

It's courious that, whatever I write after insmod, it shows the same message. Also curious is the fact that I had this module working in a previous version of my system (which I can't recover now) so, it's almost sure the problem is not in the module.

Any clues?

    if it is really in busybox included (double check it) 

    busybox insmod crc.ko

    should work.

    you may enter 

    busybox

    to get a list about the applets in your busybox.

    You are right. The fact is I didn't understood what the "applet" was. I've don "busybox", and now I see insmod is not in it.

    It must be a "make" problem, because I've compiled busybox with insmod, but maybe I have to "clean" it before

    I will continue trying... thank you!
