OK. I am playing with a RH6 box. From the boxed CD's -> dl all patches ->
upgrade -> dl 2-2-5-22 kernel src/headers -> compile custom almost
monlithic kernel
After the out of box install, boot up worked good.
After recompile, I started getting this error:
>Finding module dependencies
>conf:5: missing module argument
I have tracked the error down to this part of /etc/rc.d/rc.sysinit (sorry
about the wrap):
>if [ -x /sbin/depmod -a -n "$USEMODULES" ]; then
> # Get ready for kmod if module support in the kernel
> if [ -z `uname -r | grep "-"` ]; then

> mver=`uname -r`
> else
> ktag="`cat /proc/version`"
> mtag=grep -l "$ktag" /lib/modules/*/.rhkmvtag 2> /dev/null
> if [ -n "$mtag" ]; then

I really don't know what to do. depmod and modprobe both come back with
the same conf:5 cryptic error.
During the kernel upgrade, I accidentally/intentionally deleted a file
called module-info-2.2.5-15 b/c it was an old file. I can't figure out
what creates module-info-2.2.5-22, so I can't replace it. Also, I think
there should be a file called /lib/modules/2.2.5-22/modules.dep that isn't
there. It is present for the old kernel, but not this one. What creates
that file?
This is a tough one, so don't loose sleep over it. I just thought it might
be easier to track down by comparing what other people had in their box.
Thx.
