hello, i'm pretty new to debian, altough i've been using linux (mostly redhat) for quite a while. i've upgraded and recompiled the kernel hundreds of times, but i've never seen these problems. first off, i'm using woody, so i fully expect this to be the root of my problems... i'm constantly "apt-get update"ing and "apt-get upgrade"ing, so i'm pretty confident that i'm using the most up-to-date packages. i have two main issues with debian on my thinkpad and they may or may not be inter-related: 0. whenever i do a ps or some other commands (i can't recall some of the other yet, but i know ps trigers this), i get the following errors... in 2.2.18-pre15.. {module_list} {module_list_R__ver_module_list} Warning: /boot/System.map-2.2.18pre15 does not match kernel data. Warning: /boot/System.map has an incorrect kernel version. Warning: /usr/src/linux/System.map has an incorrect kernel version. in 2.4.0-test9.. {usb_alloc_bus} {__VERSIONED_SYMBOL(usb_alloc_bus)} Warning: /boot/System.map does not match kernel data. {usb_alloc_bus} {__VERSIONED_SYMBOL(usb_alloc_bus)} Warning: /usr/src/linux/System.map does not match kernel data. i could understand the last two warnings in 2.2.18-pre15 as the kernel is in /boot/vmlinuz-2.2.18pre15 and the symbols are in /boot/System.map-2.2.18pre15, but why does it complain about /boot/System.map-2.2.18pre15? it's there, it was the one produced when i compiled the kernel that's running... heck, what's complaining? the kernel? 1. the other error has to do with /usr/local/lib: any library put in /usr/local/lib cannot be dynamically linked to a binary needing them. yes, i put /usr/local/lib in /etc/ld.so.conf and ran ldconfig, but this doesn't help. instead, i get the following error: /usr/local/lib : ldconfig: Can't open directory /usr/local/lib : No such file or directory yeah, /usr/local/lib is there. ideas? i really want to stay with debian and i can see how it's quite nice, but i'm heading out of town for a while in a week and i need to be comfortable with my laptop. errors like this make me very uncomfortable. can anyone help? is there something i have to do with debian to make it play nicely with hand-rolled kernels, libraries, etc? thanks, pete -- Pete Toscano p:sigsegv@psinet.com w:pete@research.netsol.com GPG fingerprint: D8F5 A087 9A4C 56BB 8F78 B29C 1FF0 1BA7 9008 2736
