etch 2.6 kernel and modutils broken symlinks

[Declan Mullen]

Hi All

My system is running etch with the latest updates and a 2.6 kernel. It
has never installed or run a 2.4 or 2.2 kernel.

I've noticed that my system has some files that belong to the modutils
package (which is used with 2.2 and 2.4 kernels), however I don't have
that package installed. The files are /sbin/ksyms and
/bin/kallsyms, both of which are symbolic links to insmod.modutils
which by the way doesn't exist.

In addition to those two files there are the following files which are
also symbolic links to the non-existant insmod.modutils:

 /sbin/modprobe.modutils
 /sbin/lsmod.modutils
 /sbin/rmmod.modutils
 /bin/lsmod.modutils

Assuming that I continue to run 2.6 kernels, will these broken symbolic
links and missing insmod.modutils cause problems for my system? If so,
are there any recommended fixes ?

BTW, why are these broken symbolic links present on my system ? Is this
a known issue ?

Thanks,
Declan

Broken links under /dev/.udev/db

Hi

I am not familiar with /dev/.udev so apologies if this is a dumb questions.

Under my /dev/.udev/db directory there are many broken symbolic links, eg:

 [EMAIL PROTECTED] - md2
 [EMAIL PROTECTED]@device-mapper - mapper/control
 [EMAIL PROTECTED] - ram0
 [EMAIL PROTECTED] - loop0
 [EMAIL PROTECTED]@vcsa5 - vcsa5

Should I be concerned that so many symbolic links are pointing to files 
that do not exist ?


I'm running etch with the latest updates. My uname output is:
 Linux jack 2.6.18-5-vserver-k7 #1 SMP Mon Dec 24 19:45:10 UTC 2007 
i686 GNU/Linux


Thanks,
Declan
