Is that really due to lack of joystick? What does
ls -l /lib/modules/`uname -r`
report? Those ` are backticks. Is it possible you upgraded your
kernel, removing the previous kernel and module files, and haven't
rebooted since? If not, and you do have a
/lib/modules/2.6.8-24.5-default, but no modules.dep,
depmod -a
should regenerate one for you. If you don't have
/lib/modules/2.6.8-24.5-default, I'd make sure your boot loader points
to the new kernel (and initrd if you have one), and reboot...
otherwise any time you need drivers that are not precompiled into the
kernel or haven't been loaded as modules before the kernel upgrade,
the kernel won't be able to load them because the files have been
removed with your upgrade.
It could be lack of joystick, but I would have expected something more
along the lines of the driver complaining when it was loaded, not your
post-install configuration saying "Could not load
/lib/modules/2.6.8-24.5-default/modules.dep"
In general, after upgrading your kernel, you want to boot the new
kernel if the possibility exists to need new modules loaded or do any
configuration that pokes around in /lib/modules, particularly when the
running versions files have been removed ;). And presumably you
upgraded the kernel for a reason, security or otherwise, so why tarry?
Sorry you uptime guys ;).
