Bug#858984: More info on this bug, should we close it?
Hi!
I later discovered what the problem was when I tried to get my net up in
recovery mode and couldn't load the right modules. Looks like somehow I
ended up with a bad or nonexistant modules.dep or modules.dep.bin or
similar, the fact is that the kernel modules were not loaded, this seems to
be what caused all the trouble.
Running modprobe -a from the new kernel on recovery mode solved all the
problems and X is working ok right now as well as the mouse and the
keyboard, so everything looks fine.
So... trying to see what had happened I came up with this...
I had installed linux-image-4.9.0-2-amd64/testing and did:
apt-get install linux-image-4.9.0-2-amd64-unsigned/unstable
which removed the kernel from testing and left the configs around.
I later purged the configs from the kernel from testing with dpkg --purge
installed the headers from the new version and rebooted.
I believe that it was the purge that messed the depmod info.
I don't know if we should close the bug or we should investigate more on
what happened. If you want me to investigate anymore just let me know.
Regards.
