Hi, I've not had this sort of problems in the 2-3 years of using Linux, all of it before this being Redhat. Don't get me wrong, I'm sticking with Gentoo, but I don't understand what went wrong.
At this point all the drivers that I seem to need are running without errors. However, depmod is not happy about other things installed on my system: Wizard root # depmod -a depmod: *** Unresolved symbols in /lib/modules/2.4.20-gentoo-r2/kernel/drivers/atm/atmtcp.o depmod: *** Unresolved symbols in /lib/modules/2.4.20-gentoo-r2/kernel/drivers/block/loop.o <SNIP> depmod: *** Unresolved symbols in /lib/modules/2.4.20-gentoo-r2/kernel/net/sched/sch_teql.o depmod: *** Unresolved symbols in /lib/modules/2.4.20-gentoo-r2/kernel/net/sunrpc/sunrpc.o Wizard root # There are about 50 failures like this. Here's the basic series of events as best I remember them them: 0) I tried running genkernel, but it started compiling without giving me a chance to configure, so I Ctrl-C'ed out of it. 1) I needed USB support which was not built into my kernel. 2) I ran make xconfig to get USB turned on, but there were a lot of things I wasn't sure about, and I had a working Redhat machine running a 2.4.21 kernel, so I copied over that .config file into /usr/src/linux. (Could this cause this sort of problem?) 3) I built the kernel using make dep clean bzImage install modules modules_install After editing grub.conf and rebooting the machine now has USB support. reemerging Alsa and xfree-dri got back the rest of what I needed, however depmod -a fails as above. This morning I tried moving the existing lib/modules/gentoo* directory out of the way and ran make modules_install again, and still get the same depmod -a failures after a reboot. I notice that I have other gentoo-sources installed, but /usr/src/linux is still pointing at 2.4.20-r2. Does this matter? Should I repoint to 2.4.20-r6 and build from there? Why would this matter? gentoo-sources-2.4.20-r2 gentoo-sources-2.4.20-r5 gentoo-sources-2.4.20-r6 Can anyone venture a guess as to what I did wrong here? Thanks much!
