I'm getting the following error during the boot sequence, repeated many times. It doesn't seem to cause any actual problems, but it's worrisome.
modprobe: modprobe: cannot create /var/log/ksymoops/20021102.log Read-only file system (or the current date in place of 22021102) One thing I found through google seems to be applicable: "I'm not sure why this problem is a show-stopper. Several installation kernels were built without the unix.o module which is kind of unfortunate. But this normally is just a hiccup, e.g." <snip> I'm using woody with the binary 2.4.18 for i386 k6-2 kernel. Maybe someone can tell me if to fix the problem I have to download the kernel source and compile and/or net-pf-10 (see below), before I spend the time trying it. Would it be bad to just comment out net-pf-10 everywhere it occurs in /etc? Also, this seems to be reported as bug# 143074 as a minor kernel bug. Would it be useful for me to post my experience as a follow-up to that bug, as my experience is somewhat different? The file /var/log/ksymoops/20021102.log is actually created and contains lines like 20021102 000247 start /sbin/modprobe -s -k -- net-pf-10 safemode=1 20021102 000247 probe ended 20021102 000436 start /sbin/modprobe -s -k -- net-pf-10 safemode=1 20021102 000436 probe ended 20021102 000436 start /sbin/modprobe -s -k -- net-pf-10 safemode=1 20021102 000436 probe ended 20021102 000443 start /sbin/modprobe -s -k -- net-pf-10 safemode=1 20021102 000443 probe ended repeated many times (1032 lines total!) Some other info you probably don't need, just so show what else is in ksymoops and prove that my /var is writeable: /var/log/ksymoops contains a bunch of other files as well: bash-2.05a$ dir /var/log/ksymoops/20021102* | more gives a bunch of files like -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 1484 Nov 2 14:52 /var/log/ksymoops/20021102145202.modules -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 65762 Nov 2 14:52 /var/log/ksymoops/20021102145259.ksyms all with the .modules or .ksyms extensions, all rw for root. My /var is just a subdirectory of /, which is mounted as: /dev/hdb2 on / type ext3 (rw,usrquota,errors=remount-ro) The directories /var, /var/log, and /var/log/ksymoops are in fact writeable bash-2.05a$ dir /var/log/ksymoops/ | more total 3144 drwxr-xr-x 2 root root 24576 Nov 2 14:52 . drwxr-xr-x 10 root root 4096 Nov 2 01:15 .. bash-2.05a$ dir /var/log | more total 3280 drwxr-xr-x 10 root root 4096 Nov 2 01:15 . drwxr-xr-x 15 root root 4096 Oct 20 22:28 .. bash-2.05a$ dir /var | more total 60 drwxr-xr-x 15 root root 4096 Oct 20 22:28 . drwxr-xr-x 25 root root 4096 Nov 2 14:02 ..
