Hi, I haven't discovered yet what happend to the symlink. I may have a bad disk or the file utilities are corrupted.
I tried to compile a new kernel 2.4.1 and 2.4.2 but when I try to install the modules some of the directories made as files!! make modules make modules_install make -C kernel modules_install make[1]: Entering directory `/export/src/kernel-source-2.4.1/kernel' make[1]: Nothing to be done for `modules_install'. make[1]: Leaving directory `/export/src/kernel-source-2.4.1/kernel' make -C drivers modules_install make[1]: Entering directory `/export/src/kernel-source-2.4.1/drivers' make -C block modules_install make[2]: Entering directory `/export/src/kernel-source-2.4.1/drivers/block' mkdir -p /lib/modules/2.4.1/kernel/drivers/block/ mkdir: `/lib/modules/2.4.1/kernel' exists but is not a directory make[2]: *** [_modinst__] Error 1 make[2]: Leaving directory `/export/src/kernel-source-2.4.1/drivers/block' make[1]: *** [_modinst_block] Error 2 make[1]: Leaving directory `/export/src/kernel-source-2.4.1/drivers' make: *** [_modinst_drivers] Error 2 and file /lib/modules/2.4.1/kernel /lib/modules/2.4.1/kernel: file: read failed (Is a directory). e2fsck -n -v doesn't report anything unusual. I may need to reinstall the system afterall. I chechked what packages I have isnatlled and found some glibc packages. Do they exist or just made for convenient upgrading? dpkg -l '*glibc*' Desired=Unknown/Install/Remove/Purge/Hold | Status=Not/Installed/Config-files/Unpacked/Failed-config/Half-installed |/ Err?=(none)/Hold/Reinst-required/X=both-problems (Status,Err: uppercase=bad) ||/ Name Version Description +++-==============-==============-============================================ ii glibc-doc 2.1.3-15 GNU C Library: Documentation un glibc-pic <none> (no description available) un glibcdoc <none> (no description available) rn libg++2.8.1.3- <none> (no description available) un libg++2.8.2-gl <none> (no description available) rn libstdc++2.10- <none> (no description available) un libstdc++2.9-g <none> (no description available) Gabor PS. I have/had a working version of 2.4.1 and saved the files/modules.
