I've recently built linux kernels 2.6.15 and 2.6.16 using make-kpkg, and in both instances, although everything works fine, I am greeted with a stream of error messages at boot time stating that the modules.dep file is not found.
When building 2.6.16, towards the end of the make-kpkg command I noticed the following message: depmod -q -FSystem.map -b /usr/src/linux-source-2.6.16/debian/linux-image-2.6.16 2.6.16; /bin/sh: depmod: command not found When I went to check the contents of /lib/modules/2.6.16 I found the directory had not even been created. However, when I ran dpkg to install the newly created kernel package I noticed the following message: Setting up linux-image-2.6.16 (sebyted.1.0) ... Running depmod. Upon checking for /lib/modules/2.6.16 once again, I found it had now been created, and populated, as follows: total 60 drwxr-xr-x 3 root root 4096 Jun 26 09:13 . drwxr-xr-x 6 root root 4096 Jun 26 09:13 .. lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 44 Jun 26 09:13 build -> /home/sebyte/src/usr_src/linux-source-2.6.16 drwxr-xr-x 5 root root 4096 Jun 26 09:13 kernel -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 271 Jun 26 09:13 modules.alias -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 69 Jun 26 09:13 modules.ccwmap -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 3723 Jun 26 09:13 modules.dep -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 73 Jun 26 09:13 modules.ieee1394map -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 141 Jun 26 09:13 modules.inputmap -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 81 Jun 26 09:13 modules.isapnpmap -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 74 Jun 26 09:13 modules.ofmap -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 99 Jun 26 09:13 modules.pcimap -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 43 Jun 26 09:13 modules.seriomap -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 6774 Jun 26 09:13 modules.symbols -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 189 Jun 26 09:13 modules.usbmap lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 44 Jun 26 09:13 source -> /home/sebyte/src/usr_src/linux-source-2.6.16 However the stream of 'FATAL' error messages complaining that /lib/modules/2.6.16/modules.dep is not found persists. Yet the system is working fine... *scratch* sdt -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble? Contact [EMAIL PROTECTED]
