46 | <refsect1><title>DESCRIPTION</title> | |
47 | <para> | |
48 | <command>insmod</command> is a trivial program to insert a module into | |
6923e95b | 49 | the kernel. Most users will want to use |
d5578ee0 LDM |
50 | <citerefentry><refentrytitle>modprobe</refentrytitle> |
51 | <manvolnum>8</manvolnum> </citerefentry> instead, which is more clever | |
52 | and can handle module dependencies. | |
53 | </para> | |
54 | <para> | |
55 | Only the most general of error messages are reported: as the work of | |
56 | trying to link the module is now done inside the kernel, the | |
57 | <command>dmesg</command> usually gives more information about errors. | |
