Subject: 2.5 module-init-tools/mk_initrd problems From: Sid Boyce <sboyce@blueyonder.co.uk> To: linux_kernel@vger.kernel.org X-Mailer: Ximian Evolution 1.0.8 Date: 29 Mar 2003 20:46:19 +0000 Message-Id: <1048970779.847.70.camel@barrabas> Mime-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=iso-8859-1 Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit

On both SuSE 8.1 and Mandrake 9.1rc2, I can't get mk_initrd to find modules. I've installed module-init-tools 0.9.10 (SuSE 8.1) and 0.9.9 (Mandrake 9.1rc2), mkinitrd 3.4.32 (SuSE 8.1) and 3.1.6 (Mandrake). "depmod -ae 2.5.66-ac1" finds no problems. "mkinitrd --preload reiserfs --preload aic7xxx /boot/initrd-2.5.66-ac1 2.5.66-ac1" returns message on both systems e.g "no module reiserfs found for kernel 2.5.66-ac1". strace says it's at least trying to look in the right top directory ... stat64("/lib/modules/2.5.66-ac1", {st_mode=S_IFDIR|0755, st_size=288, ...}) = 0 I can't see why it's not searching further down to where the module is. Regards Sid.
