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
