Package: debian-installer
Severity: important
I found debian-installer fails when I choose build_floppy_root on
kernel 2.6. Error message is 'depmod: QM_MODULES: Function not implemented'.
I figured out what was problem.
Makefile is:
if [ -e $(TREE)/boot/System.map-$(VERSION) ]; then \
depmod -F $(TREE)/boot/System.map-$(VERSION) -q -a -b $(TREE)/
$(VERSION); \
mv $(TREE)/boot/System.map-$(VERSION) $(TEMP); \
else \
depmod -q -a -b $(TREE)/ $(VERSION); \
fi;)
It works good since we don't separate kernel and root file system
(TREE/boot/System.map-version exists).
But there isn't System.map in root floppy tree. 'depmod' without -F
looks current working kernel system map, and is failed by module
incompatibility.
I believe it is 'lucky' that build works on kernel 2.4 series.
I think build_floppy_root needs to provide System.map-version from
di-kernel-image during depmod process (and remove after depmod is
suceeded).
Thanks,
