Missing /modules/ directories on Debian with TI-nSpire
Clash Royale CLAN TAG#URR8PPP
I have been trying to set up Debian Linux on my TI nSpire calculator. Everything seems to work fine except for anything module related. Whenever I try to run commands like modprobe, lsmod, and depmod, they do not function because /lib/modules/ and /proc/modules do not exist.
I have read that this issue can be resolved by reinstalling the kernel, but I am unable to do this because the calculator is strictly offline (couldn’t even get it online if I wanted to, can’t load modules), and the way Linux is booted. The calculator starts Linux by loading a modified image of the Linux Kernel into memory, then boots off of an external USB drive. I am not too familiar with Linux, so I don’t know if reinstalling the kernel would even be possible in this setup.
Is there any way I can set up the /modules/ directories on my current setup?

If /proc/modules does not exist, that might mean the current kernel has been compiled without module support. If that’s true, then just adding the directories would not work. The important question is: from where is the kernel loaded? If from the external USB, then you might be able to plug that USB to another computer and use it to replace the kernel file.
