I was just udpating my Ac chroots used by CRI. There are two very bad

1. module-init-tools (3.2.2-3) has broken modinfo (and probably more

module. It will say you something like
/lib/modules/2.4.35-1smp/drivers/ide/pci/piix.o.gz: No such file or
directory. But file exists and has correct permissions. On 2.6.x
kernels it works ok.
Are modutils installed?
The only thing module-init-tools can do on 2.4.x is to exec modutils
counterpart.
hm.. modinfo don't invoke modinfo from modutils - it just try to parse
/lib/modules/{version}/modules.dep.
Invoking - is bad idea, because modutils didn't support use of other
kernel from installed - what is needed by our geninitrd. For
module-init-tools this option is provided by
%{name}-modinfo-kernelversion.patch patch.
Problem is in parsing modules.dep - in modules.dep from 2.6 there is no
empty lines between modules. In modules.dep from 2.4 - there are empty
lines between modules, and finally it try to open file
'\n/lib/modules/.../piix.gz' - what will fail ;)
i don't know what is right way fix - fix modinfo to don't use empty
lines, or fix depmod from modutils to don't generate empty lines ;)

2. Kernel 2.6.16.60 is broken. On all machines when where I tried to boot it (including VirtualBox) it just displayed dozens of messages: Unknown interrupt or fault at EIP 0060 c0100295 0294 and it finally hangs so only cold boot works. This seems to happen on machines w/o PAE. Broken PAE bcond? (-ENOTIME to check myself).

Two serious problems with Ac
Hi. I was just udpating my Ac chroots used by CRI. There are two very bad bugs in current Ac (main + updates). 1. module-init-tools (3.2.2-3) has broken modinfo (and probably more stuff). It doesn't work with 2.4 kernel. Try 'modinfo piix' or any other module. It will say you something like /lib/modules/2.4.35-1smp/drivers/ide/pci/piix.o.gz: No such file or directory. But file exists and has correct permissions. On 2.6.x kernels it works ok. Since geninitrd is using modinfo there is currently no way to generate initrd for 2.4.x kernels. 2. Kernel 2.6.16.60 is broken. On all machines when where I tried to boot it (including VirtualBox) it just displayed dozens of messages: Unknown interrupt or fault at EIP 0060 c0100295 0294 and it finally hangs so only cold boot works. So there is currently no working kernel in Ac. 2.4 probably works, but no way to boot it as initrd can't be generated. 2.6 doesn't boot. M. P.S. Above test were all done using i686 architecture. ___ pld-devel-en mailing list pld-devel-en@lists.pld-linux.org http://lists.pld-linux.org/mailman/listinfo/pld-devel-en
