[solved]Update from kernel 3.3.6 to a newer kernel leads to module fai

Hello community,

Back in may 2012 I observed a strange problem: The update from kernel 3.3.6 to kernel 3.3.7 resulted in all modules failing to load. So: No keyboard, no mouse, no network, no graphics, no CPU scaling, maybe no other things that I'm not aware of. So till today I'm forced to use kernel 3.3.6 in order to be able to use the system. The problem persists even after the upgrade of kmod and glibc. But this can't last forever since the old kernel already starts to make some problems e.g. with the new modules path structure after the glibc update. So I wonder how I can diagnose the problem. Some remarks that might be helpful: It's not hardware related because I'm running an old installation which works perfectly. The only differences that I'm aware of between the installations are: 32Bit(working) - 64bit(not working); installed on: HDD (working) - SSD (not working); no external /boot (working) - external /boot (not working); GRUB installed: on the same drive as / (working) - on a different drive as / (not working). Of course some config files might also be different but at least the /etc/rc.conf are very similar (the MODULES and DAEMONS arrays are identical). But the problem is that not only the modules from the MODULES array cannot be loaded but also many other modules.

Thanks for any hints,

The very worst thing you can do with free software is to download it, see that it doesn't work for some reason, leave it, and tell your friends that it doesn't work.  -  Tuomas Lukka
