I am trying to install this module: https://github.com/mkottman/acpi_call
I did a make, make install.
I then saw acpi_call.ko
is in /lib/modules/4.3.3-5-default/extra/
.
When I do a
modprobe acpi_call
I get
modprobe: FATAL: Module acpi_call not found in directory /lib/modules/4.3.3-5-default
Tried putting acpi_call.ko
in /lib/modules/4.3.3-5-default
but got the same result.
I would like to make it persistent so that when I reboot, module is loaded. I think it’s possible only with modprobe.

If the module .ko file is really under /lib/modules/4.3.3-5-default/extra/
and 4.3.3-5-default
is indeed your current kernel version, then the problem may simply be that you need to run depmod
to re-create the module dependency list. Run:
sudo depmod
and try again to modprobe
the module.
