This almost certainly happens because you had mkbootdisk installed before, and modutils didn't get updated because of conflicts! |
after upgrading from 6.2, the initial boot says the following: Finding module dependencies depmod: invalid option -- A depmod 2.3.10-pre1 depmod -a [-n -e -v -q -V] [-C configfile] [-F kernelsyms] [-b basedirectory] [forced_version] depmod [-n -e -v -q] [-f kernelsysms] module1.o module2.o ... If no arguments (expect options) are given, "depmod -a" is assumed depmod will output a dependency list suitable for the modprobe utility. depmod -a will find the list of moduules to probe from the file /etc/modules.conf. It will output the result into the depfile specified in this configuration file Normally depmod operates silently, reporting only the list of modules that won't load properly (missing symbols). Option -q will make depmod keep quiet about missing symbols Option -e output all the unresolved symbol for a given module
