 Posted: Fri Oct 28, 2005 8:06 am Post subject: emerge -uD world + Kernel Update issues [SOLVED] |
 |
|
Hey everyone,
after a recent emerge -uD world, all the modules have ceased to load. Basically I
| Code: | emerege -uD world
etc-update
|
and then fixed the config files that needed fixing (at least I'm pretty sure I did this correctly). Also after the emerge, the Kernel sources got updated to 2.16.13-r3 so I proceeded with
| Code: |
cp /usr/src/linux-2.6.12-r9/.config /usr/src/linux-2.6.13-r3/
rm linux
ln -s linux-2.6.13-r3 linux
cd linux
make menuconfig
make && make modules_install
cp arch/i386/boot/bzImage /boot
|
This part all works fine and I did mount boot before I copied bzImage over. I boot up and I notice that some of the dependancies stopped working during the initial boot phase. So once that's all done I login and find that none of the modules have been loaded. I check modules.d and moduels.autoload.d and they have all the modules I normally would load with 2.6.12-r9.
Since I'm still a noob I'm actually kind of lost as to how to resolve this issue and how to get the modules to load. I've tried modprobing the modules but that doesn't do anyhting I get a FATAL modules * doesn't exist error.
The list of modules and things that are broken after this kernel update are:
alsa (snd-mixer, snd-emu10k1, etc)
nvidia
ndiswrapper
and as a result of the nvidia module not loading, X can not start 
Sorry for the noob-ness but I am really lost and I have searched the forums but my queries must be wrong
Again thanks for everyone's help in advance,
- M -

The modules need recompiling also, after a kernel upgrade. So:
| Code: | | emerge nvidia-kernel alsa-driver madwifi |

| after kernel update you have to remerge external modules (all modules are in /lib/modules/kernel-version), the new kernel does not know about external modules until you remerge them.. You could complie alsa into the kernel to have less hustle next time.. |

Use module-rebuild
| Code: | | emerge module-rebuild |
after that, just
| Code: | | module-rebuild list |
to see what modules will be recompiled... and
| Code: | | module-rebuild rebuild |
and it will recompile all the external modules that need to be recompiled. |

module-rebuild sounds like a good way to go:D thanks for your quick replies, as soon as I get back home I'll give that a shot. However, since my desktop is wireless, and as soon as I move to the new kernel, the wireless card quits working, is it possible to
| Code: | | emerge -f modules-rebuild |
under the 2.6.12 kernel and then move back over to the 2.6.13 and then run the
| Code: | | emerge module-rebuild |
under the new kernel?
or would I have to fetch all the external module drivers as well? before I modules-rebuild?
thanks again! I'm getting the hang of this now

There's no problem on booting without wireless. If you don't clean the /usr/portage/distfiles dir, then you have all the files you need. just "module-rebuild rebuild" after boot.
If you clean the distfiles dir, than after you recompiled the kernel and before rebooting the system, you can already run "module-rebuild rebuild". |
