[SOLVED] New Kernel fail to install modules?

Very strange ..i always compile myself my kernel ..now have this problem (this is first time i have this problem ..probably is after switch module-init-tools -> kmod  ? )

[root@localhost linux-3.2.6]# mkinitcpio -p linux_mio

  -> -k /boot/bzImage -c /etc/mkinitcpio.conf -g /boot/initrd_mio.img

[root@localhost linux-3.2.6]#

In /lib/modules/3.2.6-MIO found only 2 file:

modules.builtin
modules.order

In my working ok kernel 3.2.5-MIO have all this:

modules.alias
modules.alias.bin
modules.builtin
modules.builtin.bin
modules.dep
modules.dep.bin
modules.devname
modules.order
modules.softdep
modules.symbols
modules.symbols.bin


Another info, ..when add "make modules_install" i receive this Warning:

...
DEPMOD  3.2.6-MIO
Warning: you may need to install module-init-tools
See http://www.codemonkey.org.uk/docs/post- … en-2.6.txt


Any idea?

Thx.

Re: [SOLVED] New Kernel fail to install modules?

I think it started with kmod-5 and kmod-4 was fine, but I'm not completely sure. If you manually do a "depmod -a <kernel_version>", you'll get all the files, it's just when depmod is called from "make modules_install" that not all files are created.

Very very thx ...problem is added from kmod-5 ..i found and install old kmod-4 and after make modules_install is all ok

P.S.
I found kmod-4 to:

Re: [SOLVED] New Kernel fail to install modules?

Figured it out, it's extremely simple. The kernel Makefile contains this:

DEPMOD		= /sbin/depmod

But kmod-5 has depmod in /usr/bin. So create a /sbin/depmod -> /usr/bin/kmod symlink and all will be fine again.

Edit: The kmod-5-4 package in [testing] adds this symlink. If you added it manually and then upgrade, you'll get an error. So remove the symlink before upgrading to kmod-5-4

Re: [SOLVED] New Kernel fail to install modules?

I think you're really close to understanding what is going on, Gusar, but there is something else going on too...

I _have_ a symlink going from /sbin/depmod -> /usr/bin/kmod, but I also have a tendency to run pacman without /sbin in my PATH (its not in my normal user PATH and I tend to just run "su" to get a root shell). Without /sbin in my PATH, I get a "depmod: command not found" error during installation of the linux package, which is silently ignored and results in similar symptoms when it comes to mkinitcpio.

I wonder if the arch linux package does a /usr/src/linux-VERSION/scripts/depmod.sh "depmod" rather than the default depmod.sh "/sbin/depmod" that would be called by the kernel Makefile.

Everything works fine for me with /sbin in PATH.
