Embed both old & new insmod
This is because you installed module-init-tools which move things around poorly on the system. If you want to use 2.4 and 2.[56] kernels, install the modutils from rawhide which also includes the module-init-tools stuff but in a way that doesn't break backwards compatibility. Uuh? 1. I do not play with 2.[56] kernels 2. I installed my initial rh8 from scratch (rh installed) 3. I upgraded from rh8 to rh9 booting from the rh9 cdrom What is that bad in the above? Shall I assume from now that Rawhide is the only safe branch? insmod.static.old only ever exists if you install the upstream module-init-tools which is only required for the 2.6 kernel. Otherwise, there is no insmod.static.old to be concerned with. And module-init-tools renaming binaries is *broken* and impossible for distribution scripts to support. |
