I mentioned an error in the latest release of the kernel for Fedora Rawhide. Here is the post: I am running Fedora Rawhide, the latest development release, which is Fedora version 7.89. Yesterday, I installed the latest kernel update, which is 2.6.23-0.15.rc0.git1.fc8. So vmlinuz-2.6.23-0.15.rc0.git1.fc8 was installed in /boot, and the modules were installed in /lib/modules/2.6.23-0.15.rc0.git1.fc8/. However, when you do the command uname -r you get the version/release number 2.6.22-0.15.rc0.git1.fc8. That is 2.6.22 and not 2.6.23. So during boot up, there were so many modules that were not loaded, as the kernel could not find them, since they were expected to be in /lib/modules/2.6.22-0.15.rc0.git1.fc8. Why did the Fedora kernel developers release such an incorrectly compiled kernel? Of course there is an easy fix. Just create a symbolic link /lib/modules/2.6.22-0.15.rc0.git1.fc8 to /lib/nodules/2.6.23-0.15.rc0.git1.fc8, and reboot, and the problem is solved. What about the version numberings in the kernel and the modules, themselves? I wonder why the link works when it does not fix the internal version numbers. In the meantime, I am waiting for the next kernel update. _________________________________________________ Philippine Linux Users' Group (PLUG) Mailing List [email protected] (#PLUG @ irc.free.net.ph) Read the Guidelines: http://linux.org.ph/lists Searchable Archives: http://archives.free.net.ph
