Last chance to help me before I reformat the blasted thing and reinstall Slink (I will probably NEVER install potato, so far it's a piece of, well you know...)
I recompiled a 2.0.36 kernel, of course I had to use gcc 2.72. I copied System.map all over known creation, made modules_install did depmod and update-modules, everything seemed fine, until I reboot. Now I get 7 BAZILLION unresolved symbol references. I figured it's crufty, right? So I blew away the modules directory for 2.0.36, redid make modules_install and reboot. Now no matter how much I depmod, it replaces the modules.dep with some old version (from where??? It's about 5 and a half hours old -- I was nowhere near my machine at that time; and it doesn't correlate to any kind of UTC time or anything like that) and complains about what it just did. (it says "You FOOL! /etc/modules.conf is more recent than /lib/modules/2.0.36/modules.dep!") Finally I ran depmod, then did chattr +i modules.dep on the stupid thing. Before I rebooted they were the exact same time. Please tell me I'm a moron and I'm clearly not running *command x*. Please tell me something... It's getting so blowing the thing away and reinstalling takes less time and frustration.
