Description of problem: When a (non-RHEL) non-modular kernel is booted, "service --status-all" yields an error: # service --status-all libkmod: kmod_module_new_from_loaded: could not open /proc/modules: No such file or directory Error: could not get list of modules: No such file or directory netconsole module not loaded Configured devices: lo eth0 Currently active devices: lo eth0 Source of the problem is in /etc/rc.d/init.d/netconsole, line 110, function status(): lsmod is executed without checking if /proc/modules exists beforehand. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): How reproducible: 100% Steps to Reproduce: 1. boot a non-modular kernel 2. # service --status-all 3. Actual results: Error Expected results: no Error Additional info:
Created attachment 922237 [details] adds a check for /proc/modules before the lsmod invocation in status() minimal patch
At beginning I must note that we do not support non-RHEL kernels. And also there should be something like + else + echo $"/proc/modules does not exists" + RETVAL=3 because otherwise you will get false return value. But the main reason why I want to close this as notabug is that it yields that there is an error because there is one.
