First of all, you shouldn't be using rhkmvtag if you can avoid it. Using the EXTRAVERSION tag in the kernel makefile is much more sane. This has been fixed (in a slightly different manner) in the latest initscripts in Raw Hide. |
It seems to me that linking /lib/modules/default to the real modules directory is not enough. If there is no /lib/modules/`uname -r`/modules.dep then depmod -a will fail. To really make rhkmvtag to work I had to do it like this: --- rc.sysinit.orig Wed Apr 14 03:05:00 1999 +++ rc.sysinit Mon May 24 04:07:24 1999 @@ -174,12 +174,17 @@ mver=`uname -r` else ktag="`cat /proc/version`" - mtag=grep -l "$ktag" /lib/modules/*/.rhkmvtag 2> /dev/null + mtag=`grep -l "$ktag" /lib/modules/*/.rhkmvtag 2> /dev/null` if [ -n "$mtag" ]; then - mver=echo $mtag | sed -e 's,/lib/modules/,,' -e 's,/.rhkmvtag,,' -e 's,[ ].*$,,' + mver=`echo $mtag | sed -e 's,/lib/modules/,,' -e 's,/.rhkmvtag,,' -e 's,[ ].*$,,'` fi + mkerver="/lib/modules/`uname -r`" if [ -n "$mver" ]; then - ln -sf /lib/modules/$mver /lib/modules/default + if [ ! -d "$mkerver" -o -L "$mkerver" ]; then + # ls -sf doesn't seem able to delete a link... + rm -rf $mkerver + ln -sf /lib/modules/$mver $mkerver + fi fi fi [ -n "$mver" -a -f "/boot/module-info-$mver" ] && ln -sf /boot/module-info-$mver /boot/module-info This conicidentaly fixes bug 2755 as well.
