I am seeing this error while running trex file for the first time

Nothing to do


I checked previous conversations and found for similar there was request to upgrade kmod.I did update the kmod but still I see the same error

Thanks,
Suresh

What is the output of:
lsmod
insmod uio

Are you running from inside docker?

[root@a2728b59bdd3 v2.41]# insmod uio
insmod: ERROR: could not load module uio: No such file or directory

Look for the answers here:

...or load the module in the host OS.
