[SOLVED]kernel 2.6.39 modules problem

koliasforever · 2011-06-13 19:25:46

Hi. Today i run a pacman -Syu. I went to kernel 2.6.39. At the boot it says that: /lib/modules/2.6.38-ARCH doesn't exists and it doesn't load any module. I can't even use my keyboard and mouse when log in to kde. My question is why it is still looking for the old modules?? It should be looking for the modules in the /lib/modules/2.6.39-ARCH folder. I have seen many similar problems with this one in other threads but nothing helped. I downgraded to 2.6.38 for the moment. Any ideas?

Next time you upgrade your kernel, make sure /boot is mounted.

If you have a boot partition, make sure it's mounted and reinstall the kernel.

/boot/ folder is always mounted, even in the last update. What should i do now in order to use kernel 2.6.39? I tried to load manualy the modules in the MODULES() section, in rc.conf. Nothing changed.

I think i found something. Even if i change or delete the /boot/grub/menu.lst file, the boot screen remains the same as before. Somehow my system is only looking for the 2.6.38-ARCH folder.

There's only one reason that a kernel would be looking for 2.6.38 modules -- it's a 2.6.38 kernel. I urge you to check again that boot is mounted and to check the version of /boot/vmlinuz26 with the 'file' utility.

At the boot it says that: /lib/modules/2.6.38-ARCH doesn't exists and it doesn't load any module

You'll need to clarify what "it" is if you expect any useful feedback. At what part of the boot process does "it" complain about the path doesn't exist?

multiple grub installs? booting from the wrong one?

maybe. So where is the other grub folder? The only one i see is in the /boot/grub. sorry for my english

sudo find / -type d -name grub

?

I'd look for another /boot directory or partition... Do you have another distribution installed maybe?

I have windows installed. Things are worse than i thought. I can't mount devices. Kde recognises them but i can't mount them. Maybe it has something to do with mounting problem, like TU said at first.

Problem solved. TU was right. /boot folder was not mounted because of an syntax error in /etc/fstab. THANK you all
