[SOLVED]MODULES FAIL to load during boot process after Kernel 2.6.39 u

MatejLach · 2011-06-23 10:06:06

Hallo everyone,

Today I did solve one problem and here is just another one :-)

I updated my Arch/Linux kernel to 2.6.39.1 yesterday and ended up with [FAIL] status on [MODULES] during boot process.
So I checked rc.conf MODULES section and found nothing unusual.
I also rebuilded my mkinitcpio with SUCCESS status message, but I am still getting MODULES - FAIL status on boot, (but the boot process continues normally after a couple of seconds).
According to other posts here on Arch forums it may be some sort of bug or so.
Any fix/workaround to this?
Thanks for any help,
MTL,

There has been an update which changes the way modules get loaded / blacklisted in rc.conf. Have you seen / tried the following?

According to which posts? Show us the links so we can understand what the problem is. Also post your MODULES array.

Thanks!
I did not blacklisted modules in modprobe config.
But now I cannot see any MODULES section loading dunning boot.
Is this ok?

I was unable to find the exact link again, that's why I did not included it in my first post.
(Sorry)
But it was something similar to this bug report.

Do you use virtualbox? Because that has a module that needs to be handled seperately. I always forget to do it.

I don't see any similarities with what you are describing and that bug report. Are you using an EFI system? Are you using Grub2?

Try this:

$ su -
# depmod -a
# shutdown -r now

You probably updated without having the full root argument, and that often seems to create problems with kernel (and other crucial) upgrades.

Apologies,
My bad,
You're right, I provided wrong link, the correct one is this one, but my laptop will continue to boot normally after couple of seconds.

Here are my modules from rc.conf:

MODULES=(mii r8169 brcm80211 pcspkr snd-mixer-oss snd-pcm-oss snd-hwdep snd-page-alloc snd-pcm snd-timer snd snd-hda-codec snd-hda-intel soundcore fuse)

I installed Arch just a couple of days ago and so I am sure that this is problem on my side.
I just don't know what I am doing wrong. :-)

brcm80211 no longer exists -- it's been renamed brcmsmac as of 2.6.39. Most of those modules will be found automatically.

That did the trick for me!
Thanks so much!

Next time I should just read Kernel Release Notes and I will be fine :-)
