Yesterday I updated my kernel from 2.0.36 (Suse 6.0) to 2.2.5. To do so
I had to upgrade the following packages:
kernel modutils
procps
procinfo
psmisc
net-tools
(all the other ones mentionned in the changes file were up to date)
Everything went by alright until I rebooted with the new kernel. During
the initilization process I get error messages about modprobe being
unable to locate nls_cp_437 and nls_iso8859-1 right after mounting
/proc. I also get a lot of "unable to locate char-major-4" messages.
Finally once in a while Squid fails to start.
However the system is stable.
Though, ps issues a warning message that /boot/system.map has wrong
kernel information, the CPU, according to the CPU monitor, gets stuck at
100% usage after running 1.5 hours (no performance loss noticable) and
IP masquerading is unavailable. The command:
/sbin/ipfwadm -F -p deny
exits with the error "ipfwadm: setsockopt failed: No such file or
direcroty".
And the command:
/sbin/ipfwadm -F -a m -s 192.168.11.0/24 -D 0.0.0.0/0
returns "ipfwadm: setsockopt failed: Invalid argument".
Please help me...
a very lost Patrick
