Re: depmod -a problem

[Manoj Srivastava <srivasta@datasync.com>]

Hi,

	This is a problem with the newer versions of depmod and
 friends throwing a hissy fit over non .o files under
 /lib/modules/2.0.29/. Older versions did not have a problem, so older
 versions of kernel package left text files in /lib/modules/* as
 documentation (actually, this reflected what older kernel makefiles
 did).

	Since the change in behaviour of depmod, newer versions of
 kernel-package do not leave .o files in /lib/modules. 

	To clean up, do 
 % find /lib/modules/2.0.29 -type f | xargs file| grep -v 'ELF 32-bit'
/lib/modules/2.0.29/modules.dep:      ASCII text

 Any other file that shows up except for modules.dep should be
 removed. 

	Upgrade your version of kernel-package if possible.

	manoj
