I'm sorting out why I can't seem to get atalkd running. I recompiled the kernel to support appletalk, but now I seem to have run into a modules problem. On startup, modprobe complains: "Note: /etc/modules.conf is more recent than /lib/modules/2.2.18pre21/ modules.dep"
This is indeed true because I uncommented an alias in modules.conf (editing /etc/modutils/aliases and called update-modules). It turns out that I can get modprobe to stop complaining by typing depmod -Av 2.2.18pre21. This updates modules.dep to be more recent than modules.conf. Curiously, however, modules.dep does not remain the most recent upon reboot. After restarting, modprobe again complains that "/etc/modules.conf is more recent than /lib/modules/ 2.2.18pre21/modules.dep". How do I get modprobe to stop complaining when I restart or how do I permanently save changes to modules.dep? I didn't have this problem before I recompiled and re-installed the kernel. Oh, by the way as well, "update-modules" complains that there is no architecture specific file for my powerpc in the /etc/modutils/arch/ directory. Checking that directory, I don't find one. Do I need one to get update-modules to work properly? Thanks, -- c h @ d @ l b e r s
