Module problems
Hi all,
Tried to recompile kernel 2.2.10
get no obvious warnings (to me that is)
did use the kernel-package README
For the Brave and the impatient:
Phase ONE: Getting and configuring the kernel
1% cd <kernel source tree>
2% make config # or make menuconfig or make xconfig and configure
Phase TWO: Create a protable kernel image .deb file
3% make-kpkg clean
4% fakeroot make-kpkg --revision=custom.1.0 kernel_image
Phase THREE: Install the kernel image on one or more machines
5# dpkg -i ../kernel-image-X.XXX_1.0_<arch>.deb
6# shutdown -r now # If and only if LILO worked or you have a means of
# booting the new kernel. YOU HAVE BEEN WARNED!!
Looks good to me but!!!
when I reboot I get the following:
from xconsole:
..
..
kernel: Inspecting /boot/System.map-2.2.10
kernel: Loaded 8488 symbols from /boot/System.map-2.2.10.
kernel: Symbols match kernel version 2.2.10.
kernel: No module symbols loaded.
..
..
and in the console before X is started it complains about
"can't locate module xxxxxxxx" (or something similar)
for alot of modules.
and later when running for example pon I get
modprobe: can't locate module char-major-6
I have in /usr/src
drwxr-xr-x 16 root root 2048 Aug 9 17:28 kernel-source-2.2.10
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root src 20 Aug 9 16:49 kernel -> kernel-source-2.2.10
in /boot
-rw-r--r-- 1 root root 695454 Aug 9 17:28 vmlinuz-2.2.10
(I guess this is created by "dpkg -i kernel-image....deb" ?)
in /
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 19 Aug 9 17:07 vmlinuz -> boot/vmlinuz-2.2.10
in /lib/modules
drwxr-xr-x 4 root root 1024 Aug 9 17:34 2.2.10
in /lib/modules/2.2.10
drwxr-xr-x 2 root root 1024 Aug 9 17:28 misc
-rw-r--r-- 1 root root 111 Aug 9 17:34 modules.dep
drwxr-xr-x 2 root root 1024 Aug 9 17:32 net
so what is wrong ?
Best regards
