Hello experts,
I'm trying to update my kernel by using
kernel-smp-2.2.14-15mdk.i586.rpm
which I have installed. I also installed
modutils-2.1.121-16mdk.i586.rpm
The problem comes when I try to make an initrd
to include SCSI support. Here is what I tried
first.
[root@brumelle pkg]# /sbin/mkinitrd /boot/initrd-smp-2.2.14-15mdksmp 2.2.14-15mdksmp
mount: the kernel does not recognize /dev/loop0 as a block device
(maybe `insmod driver'?)
Can't get a loopback device
[root@brumelle pkg]#
So next I added the line
path=/lib/modules/2.2.14-15mdksmp
to the beginning of /etc/conf.modules, and then tried
[root@brumelle pkg]# /sbin/modprobe loop
no dependency information for module: "/lib/modules/2.2.14-15mdksmp/block/loop.o"
[root@brumelle pkg]#
However, I do have a file
-rw-rw---- 1 root root 51448 Apr 28 06:51 modules.dep
which contains
[root@brumelle 2.2.14-15mdksmp]# grep loop modules.dep
/lib/modules/2.2.14-15mdksmp/block/loop.o:
/lib/modules/2.2.14-15mdksmp/misc/isdnloop.o: /lib/modules/2.2.14-15mdksmp/misc/isdn.o
[root@brumelle 2.2.14-15mdksmp]#
So why can't modprobe find the dependency information?
Any help in making my initrd.img will be greatly appreciated.
Thanks,
