rmmod -as error

general

I am using the Slackware 9.0 (Small) distribution with the newest 2.4 kernel.

The distro has an hourly cron job called kmod which runs:

rmmod -as

Which results in an error:

–---------------------

rmmod: QM_MODULES: Function not implemented

rmmod: Function not implemented

rmmod: QM_MODULES: Function not implemented

The error also occurs if I just run 'rmmod -as' on the command line.

I've found some info on this error via Google but I am seeking a suggestion on the best way to fix this in the context of a linode.

Thanks,

Mark

Kernel modules aren't implemented in Linode, for security reasons.

So any command that deals with modules will fail in a similar way to what you're seeing.

I'm not sure exactly how you'd fix that message with Slackware, but however you can comment out the rmmod command should work fine. It's unnecessary anyway, since no modules are loaded.
