Checking Modules

I have purchased all 7 debian Cd's and have loaded them onto a machine, i am trying to load a usb flash drive. In another thread i posted about this flash drive problem, "gtkfreak" gave me an article to read which says that i must check what modules are loaded.

I am logged in as root and i run lsmod,

The only module it reports is
af_packet.

In the article it shows an example where there are numerous modules loaded.

If i loaded debian from purchased cd's, surely more modules, or all the repuired modules to run basic services would have loaded.

does anybody no where my modules are, and if they did not load, how do i get them.

Thanks

Please try to plug in yourUSB flash drive and do
fdisk -l /dev/sda
If there were something show up (/dev/sda1), then as root
# mkdir -p /mnt/usb; mount /dev/sda1 /mnt/usb
# ls -al /mnt/usb
