This is a patch that implements my workaround
This patch removes %rhbsys from %release in the kernel spec file.
argh, I already fixed this one, and it crept back in somehow. I've fixed it in CVS. Will be fixed in builds 1641 and above. |
From Bugzilla Helper: User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; en-US; rv:1.7.5) Gecko/20041217 Description of problem: Running rpmbuild on a local machine instead of the beehive environment produces a an rpm which installs modules in the wrong place resulting in a kernel that doesn't work. The %rhbsys macro in kernel.2.6.spec appends uname@localhost to the Revision field but this doesn't propogate correctly to the module installation The associated lines from the original spec file: %define rhbsys %([ -r /etc/beehive-root -o -n "%{?__beehive_build}" ] && echo || echo .`whoami`@`hostname -s|sed s/-//`) %define release %(R="$Revision: 1.1637 $"; RR="${R##: }"; echo ${RR%%?})_FC4%{rhbsys} The fix I used which gets it working but isn't a fix of root cause is to remove the %rhbsys macro from the definition of the %release macro %define rhbsys %([ -r /etc/beehive-root -o -n "%{?__beehive_build}" ] && echo || echo .`whoami`@`hostname -s|sed s/-//`) %define release %(R="$Revision: 1.1637 $"; RR="${R##: }"; echo ${RR%%?})_FC4 I've attched this fix as a patch but it might be worth figuring out if %rhbsys needs to be added somewhere else in the spec to make modules work correctly. I don't know whether there is an issue with the @ sign in the path that the above definition of %rhbsys causes or whther there is simply an omission in the module installation. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): kernel-2.6.14-1.1637_FC4 How reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. Install kernel kernel-2.6.14-1.1637_FC4.src.rpm on local machine as root 2. cd /usr/src/redhat 3. rpmbuild -ba SPECS/kernel-2.6.spec 4. rpm -i kernel-2.6.14-1.1637_FC4.root.rpm 5. reboot on new kernel Actual Results: Get message: modprobe: FATAL: Could not load /lib/modules/kernel-2.6.14-1.1637_FC4.root/modules.dep: No such file or directory on all module load attempts. Expected Results: Modules should have loaded nomally as they do for the rpm binary distributed at fedora. Additional info:
