When I go to restore it on the new system, I assume the installer will have put some kind of home directory on the new system under my username. I want to make sure that in the merged version of my home directory I have everything I need from both the backup home directory and the home directory created by the installer. For starters, do I need to copy in the backup home directory right after I do the base install, or after I have downloaded additional packages?

etch 2.6 kernel and modutils broken symlinks
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 ?

amd64 woes /etc/modutils/arch
Hi all, I finally plucked up my courage and put in another hard disk and installed 2.6.8-11-amd64-k8 which is running independently of my i386 installation. Loads of problems but perhaps the easiest is what do I do to get my architecture into /etc/modutils/arch? I can't install the alsa drivers because alsa whinges about not finding the amd64 architecture which is true. The contents of the /etc/modutils/arch is: alpha m68k.amiga m68k.generic mips.ip22 powerpc.generic s390 i386 m68k.atari m68k.mac powerpc.apus powerpc.pmac s390x but no amd64 listed. I've got the kernel-source headers etc. So what do I need to do to get it into /modutils/arch ? Thanks in advance. Jonathan -- Please don't cc: your posting to my personal address.

module-init-tools, modutils, ...
Hola. Tengo instalado en mi laptop Woody r2, con el kernel que viene por defecto 2.2.x, pero la mquina es un Pentium 4, y quiero actualizar el kernel, ya que a veces sta se apaga, supongo por el ACPI del BIOS, el detalle es que no hay acceso a internet en sta laptop, he probado bajandome el source del kernel (no el kernel-source de debian, sino el de kernel.org), pero me falta el module-init-tools, asi que he bajado el module-init-tools_3.1-pre6-1_i386.deb, he probado con dpkg -i module-init-tools_3.1-pre6-1_i386.deb, pero salen errores de conflicto con modutils, Cmo puedo hacer para reemplazar o actualizar modutils por module-init-tools? (el apt-get install module-init-tools, no me sirve por que no hay acceso a internet) La otra pregunta es puedo con mi otra compuatdora (la de escritorio), que si tiene acceso a internet bajarme con el apt-get los paquetes necesarios por ejemplo para actualizar mi Woody a testing o unstable y quemarlos en un CD y pasarlos a mi laptop (sin instalarlos en la computadora de escritorio), agregar ese CD al sources.list (Cmo se hace?) y usar apt-get en la laptop? Desde ya, gracias por las respuestas, quiero instalar Debian en mi laptop, pero se est haciendo un poco complicada la cosa, por lo del kernel antiguo del Woody y la falta de coneccion a Internet...

modutils unvollständig installiert
Hallo, Eingeständnis nach 1 Tag Suchen und Googlen: ich habe es durch unkontrollierte und wahrscheinlich auch unbedarfte Versuche (... denn sie wissen nicht, was sie tun...), von meinem bisherigen 2.4.26-Kernel auf einen 2.6.7-Kernel umzusteigen, fertig gebracht, dass modutils und modconf nicht mehr funktionieren, weil sie nicht konfiguriert werden können. Ich gestehe, ziemlich im System gewütet zu haben :-( Beide Kernels booten zwar ohne kernel panic, aber modutils und modconf sind nicht vollständig installiert (Konfiguration schlägt fehl, Fehlermeldung auch, dass angeblich fehlerhafte Abhängigkeiten vorhanden sind - welche, konnte ich nicht herausfinden). Auch die Installation von module-init-tools klappt nicht.

Re: Linux 2.6 and modutils
The root of my problem is that the Debian 2.6 kernel uses modprobe.conf modprobe.d modules-2.6 instead of modules.conf modutils modules Once I figured that out, everything was easy to fix. You are mistaken about what is a kernel module and what is a kernel device. The eth0 name is a kernel device. It is a networking device name the kernel uses identify the first network interface card (nic). It is not a module name. This is not entirely true. When the eth0 interface is upped, it attempts to load the module eth0. Thus, if you create an alias from eth0 to the driver for eth0, it will load automatically. alias eth0 3c59x Likewise for sound the proper line is... alias sound-slot-0 snd-intel8x0 I haven't yet figured out how to get the same aliasing trick to work for the mouse, so I added the following two lines to modules-2.6 mousedev psmouse Does anyone know the proper aliasing lines to make the mouse work?

Is there some biig variable which has to be set, to execute those post-install lines, or do I have to install a package or what? To the best of my knowledge, update-modules writes those post-install lines in /etc/modules.conf. Are those lines written there?

module-init-tools and modutils
If I understand correctly, the package module-init-tools is for 2.6 kernels, and the modutils components for 2.4 kernels (rmmod, lsmod, insmod) are being renamed with a .modutils extension in debian unstable. I am running debian unstable, and just had trouble installing a commercial package (oss from opensound.com) because apparently other distributions (suse, redhat, slackware, mandrake) are renaming their 2.4 modutils components with .old. I had to redo all the links from my commercial package so they pointed to the files in /sbin with the .modutils extension. I'm certainly not saying debian has to do everything the way everybody else does it, but I'm wondering what the reason is for doing it differently. I would imagine this could also create some problems installing non-commercial packages that aren't debian packages.

Actually, the way I understand it, the application should simply call rmmod, lsmod, modprobe, etc. The application should not check and try to call a specific version of the tool. What should happen is that if you are running a 2.4 kernel and you have the new module-init-tools installed, it will realize that you are running a 2.4 kernel and pass the call to the old version of the program. I have VMWare installed on my machine and I have both modutils and module-init-tools and everthing works like should. -Roberto pgp0.pgp Description: PGP signature

However, I do know for a fact that modutils will _not_ load new style kernel modules. I found this out when I tried to upgrade to 2.5.75 without also upgrading to module-init-tools. I also know that the differnces in the modules are more than cosmetic because my binary-only nforce2 network driver required a patch to be compiled against the newer kernels. Same thing with the binary-only driver for the winmodem in my laptop. I guess a better way for me to respond would have been that modutils is not forward comaptible.

Cela voudrait-il dire que ceux qui utilisent Sid ne peuvent plus utiliser de modules !?! A moins qu'il y ai d'autres paquets qui remplacent modutils et modconf. A moins que cela soit un bug? Au utilisateurs de Sid/Unstable: Qu'en pensez vous? Ça veut juste dire que tu _dois_ avoir des modutils de version au moins 2.4.19-1 Or dans sid, il y a http://packages.debian.org/unstable/base/modutils.html C'est pas plus compliqué que ça... -- Mike Hommey [EMAIL PROTECTED] Je crois au moment, et s'il n'y a pas le moment à ce moment là, il faut arriver à ce moment là au moment qu'on veut. -- Jean-Claude Vandamme pgpeb2VX34Nja.pgp Description: PGP signature

modconf/modutils dist-upgrade
Bonjour, J'ai fait un upgrade de Woody vers testing (apt-get -u dist-upgrade) et ai eu la surprise de voir que le systeme me proposait de supprimer modconf et modutils! Téméraire, j'y suis allé... et ai réinstallé modconf et modutils dans la foulée. Cela ne lui a pas posé de probleme. Le systeme semble marcher normalement. Cela m'intrigue quand meme... Avez vous déjà constaté cela? De quoi cela peut-il venir? D'autres commentaires? Merci -- --Laurent

**kernel 2.4.x e modutils**
Ola, Eu compilei o kernel 2.4.18 com suporte a modulo e varios modulos usando o make-kpkg. Porem, os modulos que estao especificados para carregar em tempo de boot não são carregados mais. Na inicialização do meu sistema já roda o depmod -a. Lembrando q quando dou boot pelo 2.2.19, funciona normalmente. Minha pergunta é: Tenho q estar usando uma nova versão do modutils? Muito obrigado!
