I cannot find the string 'unresolved modules' in any place I'd expect it to
be on my Red Hat Linux 6.1 system (bin directories, /boot/, /etc/, /etc/rc.d/,
/etc/rc.d/init.d/, kernel source). Any idea where it is coming from?
Where are your compiled modules being installed? Red Hat basically takes
the stance that every directory under /lib/modules/ represents a different
compilation of the kernel. Make sure your modules are being installed in an
empty directory.
For the most benefit, also execute the following after booting your new
kernel:
cat /proc/version > /lib/modules/${DIR}/.rhkmvtag
That creates a file which will clue Red Hat's initscripts in to the location
of the modules for the running kernel.
If you want to remove Red Hat's kernel binaries, issue a
rpm --erase kernel
command. Be aware that this removes the kernel boot image as well as the
modules.
Hope this helps!
