The following isn't a critical bug.
With the images at the above location (dated Jun 29 18:30) the following
message appears numerous times before dbootstrap begins:
modprobe: modprobe: Can't open dependencies file /lib/modules/2.2.17/modules.dep (No such file or directory)
followed by
kmod: runaway modprobe loop assumed and stopped
followed by more of the first message. I then get a message saying that
init (aka BusyBox) has started. I may be missing some messages as I am
using Shift-PageUp from the first blue screen, and I'm not sure if it
overwrites some of the messages. On virtual console 4, the kmod warning
appears twice.
By going to virtual console 2 and looking in /lib/modules, I found two
directories, 2.2.17/ (which is empty), and misc/ (which contains unix.o
and af_packet.o). From looking at an installed system, I think that
misc/ should be a subdirectory of 2.2.17/. I'm not sure if an empty
modules.dep should also be in 2.2.17/ or not. How do I mount an old
root.bin to see what used to be there?
I don't see why any of this would be dependent on my system (other than
it being slow enough that I actually see the messages).
