Dear All
I have recently upgraded my kernel from 2.0.34 to 2.0.36 (Redhat 5.1). I
had hoped to be able to automatically load modules with kerneld.
However on start up I get the following:
Finding module dependencies....can't open /lib/modules/preferred
/modules.dep
done
Starting kerneld, version 2.1.85 (pid 51)
If I check with ps -aux kernel d does indeed appear to be running as PID
51.
I checked /lib/modules and there is no "preferred" directory. Also
while there is a modules.dep file in /lib/modules/2.0.34 there isn't one
in /lib/modules/2.0.36.
I never got this error message when 2.0.34 was running(which was the
original install from the Redhat CD), but I don't know if kerneld was
running then.
How do I fix this? Is it as simple as creating the preferred directory
and then copying modules.dep from 2.0.34 or does modules dep need to be
created/configured by some program?
This problem also occurred when I went from 2.0.34(Original install) to
2.0.35 on another machine. What am I doing wrong?? I did all the
necessary makes etc while compiling the kernel.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Paul
