modules,dep Error on boot

Can somebody tell my why this is happening?

It goes without saying I have this folder and files.

Happens for ALL kernels.

Re: modules,dep Error on boot

You can e.g. chroot and rebuild the needed modules.

Re: modules,dep Error on boot

If you meant something to do with inframs or mkinitcpio, then it didn't work. I even compiled brand new kernel from scratch and installed it manually, but it brings just the same error message.

Re: modules,dep Error on boot

You wrote that you have the folder and file, what's the output of 'pacman -Q kernel26'?

You probably know this but:
you need modules for the current kernel, you need to recompile some app, not the kernel.
For example, the current cdfs package is for 2.6.38 kernel

[karol@black test]$ tar tf cdfs-2.6.27-14-i686.pkg.tar.xz 
.PKGINFO
.INSTALL
lib/
lib/modules/
lib/modules/2.6.38-ARCH/
lib/modules/2.6.38-ARCH/extra/
lib/modules/2.6.38-ARCH/extra/cdfs.ko

The previous version of cdfs package is for 2.6.37 kernel

[karol@black test]$ tar tf cdfs-2.6.27-13-i686.pkg.tar.xz 
.PKGINFO
.INSTALL
lib/
lib/modules/
lib/modules/2.6.37-ARCH/
lib/modules/2.6.37-ARCH/extra/
lib/modules/2.6.37-ARCH/extra/cdfs.ko

You will get the same error about missing modules if you have old cdfs installed and a new kernel

[karol@black ~]$ ls /lib/modules/2.6.38-ARCH/
extra           modules.builtin    modules.dep.bin      modules.isapnpmap    modules.seriomap     modules.usbmap
kernel           modules.builtin.bin    modules.devname      modules.ofmap    modules.softdep
modules.alias       modules.ccwmap    modules.ieee1394map  modules.order    modules.symbols
modules.alias.bin  modules.dep        modules.inputmap     modules.pcimap    modules.symbols.bin

as there's no /lib/modules/2.6.37-ARCH/ anymore

[karol@black ~]$ ls /lib/modules/
2.6.38-ARCH

But you say you have the folder so ...?

Re: modules,dep Error on boot

$ sudo pacman -Q kernel26
Password: 
kernel26 2.6.38.5-1

$ uname -r
2.6.37.6

I do not have cdfs package installed and my /lib/modules contains

2.6.37.6
2.6.37.6-ARCH
2.6.38-ARCH

Does that make sense?

Re: modules,dep Error on boot

The cdfs package was just an example.

What modules do you have in /lib/moduiles/2.6.37.6 ? What package do they belong to?

Re: modules,dep Error on boot

2.6.37.6]$ ls
build              modules.builtin.bin  modules.inputmap   modules.softdep
kernel             modules.ccwmap       modules.isapnpmap  modules.symbols
misc               modules.dep          modules.ofmap      modules.symbols.bin
modules.alias      modules.dep.bin      modules.order      modules.usbmap
modules.alias.bin  modules.devname      modules.pcimap     source
modules.builtin    modules.ieee1394map  modules.seriomap

Kernel compiled manually so no package but the same thing happened when I was doing pacman kernel installation with other kernel versions.

Re: modules,dep Error on boot

I left Ubuntu because I was constantly running into problems no one could help me with - it came with the territory.
It surprises me appears Arch is not much better.

I simply don't know what's wrong

[karol@black ~]$ pacman -Q kernel26
kernel26 2.6.38.7-1
[karol@black ~]$ uname -r
2.6.38-ARCH

I think it's some kind of PEBKAC.

BTW, you don't need to use sudo with 'pacman -Q foo'.

Re: modules,dep Error on boot

What if I install 'newest' arch kernel with pacman -Suy? Will it not screw up things even more?
