Thanks, Erik. Good to know I've got company. It seems that senmail
doesn't always do this. Sometimes it's quick to fire up. Odd. Maybe
it has to rebuild something occasionally... I prefer to remain
blissfully ignorant of that beast.
As for my more serious modules trouble, I have checked that depmod and
kerneld actually run. So there are no library issues at boot, even though
my /usr and / are separate volumes. Just to be sure, I see that ldd
reports only libc for kerneld and depmod.
I recompiled the kernel with as much modular as possible. So now almost
nothing works. In fact, I'm talking to you now from slackware, because
my modular kernel doesn't get the correct major number for /dev/modem now
that serial support is modular in my Colgate.
I can provide raw or filtered output from depmod -a.
Suffice it to say, there are over a hundred unresolved instances of
several dozen unique symbols. This is major bad news. Please help.
Kyle
