Your kidding me right ? Ooh your a former windows user ? ;) Just kidding.
I personally would never do that, but yes I can understand it.
You probably ran update-modules or an other similair tool.
Well, I looked around and I found the bad line in /etc/modutils/patchs
(first line):
path[boot]=/lib/modules/
I changed mine to:
path[boot]=/lib/modules/boot/
although maybe I should do boot per kernelversion, but I use the
/etc/modules anyway. Also I needed to change more in that file to point to
the right modules. I think they changed it because with kernel 2.4 they
completly turned the modules directory structure around. What I don't
understand is, how come it works, when you reinstall. Maybe there's a bug
in the upgrade script (is there such a thing ?).
OK, I think it's time to bug report about this. Although I've also seen a
year and a half old bugreport, which is about the same as this would be.
If anything has the errors writen down or something like that. Maybe it
could be helpfull, let me know. Or has other more usefull information, do
tell me/the list.
Hope this helps and tia,
Lennie.
