 Posted: Fri May 10, 2002 3:03 am Post subject: Can't Load Modules with 2.4.19-gentoo-r4 kernel --- Fixed :) |
 |
|
I installed gentoo on my other box and usually I compile things into the kernel but got tired of my kernel being so large. Anyway I installed from stage 1 like normal, emerged gentoo-sources the r4 variation, compiled my kernel with all the proper modules, and when I boot this happens for every module loaded:
| Code: |
modeprobe: Can't open dependencies file /lib/modules/2.4.19-gentoo-r3/modules.dep ( No such file or directory )
|
But of course I don't have that I have /lib/modules/2.4.19-gentoo-r4, so I made a symlnk to /lib/modules/2.4.19-gentoo-r3/ and when I do a modprobe I get alot of unresolved errors.
I know at least one other person who has experienced a similar problem "pacman", so if anyone knows why when I started with no kernel and emerged 2.4.19-gentoo-r4 my system is pointing to 2.4.19-gentoo-r3 and what is the proper file to edit so I can get this whole mess resolved.
As of now I'm just booting from my backup kernel with everything compiled in but I would really fix this as I don't like things being half-assed so to speak

Whenever I've seen this problem, I've fixed it one of two ways:
1) enabled module version numbering in the kernel compile
2) make modules modules_install
These two together have always repaired this problem for me. |

Couldn't find your email address pacman but here is a link to that program I was talking about:
http://uranus.it.swin.edu.au/~jn/linux/explore2fs.htm
But what I would do is boot the gentoo disk, get your ppp up and going, mount your root partition, and wget the kernel-sources you need

I got my problem resolved, it was user error as it seems to always be. The problem was that I was running the r3 kernel on my bootfloppy instead of the new r4.
So I cp'd the new kernel over to the floppy and all things are working properly now, too early in the morning and simply forgot to take the necessary steps.....Night-Night
