Do not use this.......^^^^. I had problems until I removed all the
path aliasing from the conf.module file in /etc.
You should only be aliasing devices and the like to turn things on and
off.
Here WAS my original conf.module from 2.0.30 kernel and modutils....
path[net]=/lib/modules/`uname -r`/net
path[misc]=/lib/modules/`uname -r`/misc
path[block]=/lib/modules/`uname -r`/block
path[fs]=/lib/modules/`uname -r`/fs
path[scsi]=/lib/modules/`uname -r`/scsi
alias scsi_hostadapter BusLogic
alias net-pf-5 off
alias net-pf-4 off
alias char-major-14 off
Using the above under 2.1.35 I get.......
[root@napalm /etc]# /sbin/depmod -a
TYPE /lib/modules/2.1.35/net/net
TYPE /lib/modules/2.1.35/misc/misc
TYPE /lib/modules/2.1.35/block/block
TYPE /lib/modules/2.1.35/fs/fs
TYPE /lib/modules/2.1.35/scsi/scsi
[root@napalm /etc]# cd /lib/modules/2.1.35/
[root@napalm 2.1.35]# ls -al
total 6
drwxr-xr-x 6 root root 1024 Apr 19 14:55 .
drwxr-xr-x 4 root root 1024 Apr 19 21:54 ..
drwxr-xr-x 2 root root 1024 Apr 19 21:54 fs
drwxr-xr-x 2 root root 1024 Apr 19 21:54 misc
-rw-r--r-- 1 root root 0 Apr 21 12:54 modules.dep
drwxr-xr-x 2 root root 1024 Apr 19 21:54 net
drwxr-xr-x 2 root root 1024 Apr 19 21:54 scsi
Notice that the modules.dep file is empty. Now taking out the path
stuff............
Here is my NEW conf.module file for 2.1.35.....
alias scsi_hostadapter BusLogic
alias net-pf-5 off
alias net-pf-4 off
alias char-major-14 off
I get the following......
[root@napalm /etc]# /sbin/depmod -a
[root@napalm /etc]# cd /lib/modules/2.1.35/
[root@napalm 2.1.35]# ls -al
total 7
drwxr-xr-x 6 root root 1024 Apr 19 14:55 .
drwxr-xr-x 4 root root 1024 Apr 19 21:54 ..
drwxr-xr-x 2 root root 1024 Apr 19 21:54 fs
drwxr-xr-x 2 root root 1024 Apr 19 21:54 misc
-rw-r--r-- 1 root root 239 Apr 21 12:56 modules.dep
drwxr-xr-x 2 root root 1024 Apr 19 21:54 net
drwxr-xr-x 2 root root 1024 Apr 19 21:54 scsi
Notice that the modules.dep is perfectly alright......
I suggest taking out the paths from the conf.module and giving it a try.
I have not had any problems with this configuration....
Thanks,
Troy Muller
