Hi,
After cleaning up the module files in /lib/module/2.0.18, the annoying
modules-related message (unresolved symbol.., wrong version...) during
bootup were finally gone, but today I got another message during
bootup again. It goes something like this,
modprobe: can't locate module net-pf-4
modprobe: can't locate module net-pf-5
modprobe: can't locate module net-pf-4
modprobe: can't locate module net-pf-5
anyway, it still bootup fine, but why does it try to locate those modules?
I didn't ask for that! The kernel is the same kernel I used before, which
has module support, but I haven't enable any module to be insmoded yet. So
why does it ask for those module now? btw, it is also very smart. After I
removed the files in /lib/module/2.0.18, including modules.dep, it still
asked for those modules (net-pf-4, net-pf-5) and created a new modules.dep
file in /lib/modules/2.0.18 after bootup.
Anyway, I recompiled a new kernel with no module support and it is not
thinking for those modules now. but can anyone tell me why the kernel
will try to locate those module if I include module support in it.
jmf
I suspect the kernel may be corrupted, so I recompiled a new kernel
with module support, but no modules to be used yet. but this new kernel
stll gave the same message above.
