From Bugzilla Helper: User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; en-US; rv:1.6) Gecko/20040510 Description of problem: Running /sbin/generate-modprobe.conf after updating from FC1 to FC2 doesn't work: next message is issued: Cannot find old version of modprobe. Giving up. It seems absurd dat /sbin/generate-modprobe.conf asks the old version of modprobe since this script is intented for configuring a file under newest kernel. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): 2.4.26-16 How reproducible: Didn't try Steps to Reproduce: 1. Install FC1 2. modify /etc/modules.conf for adding some modules (for the Smart Link modem v.gr.) 3. Upgrade to FC2 with Anaconda Actual Results: A lot of modules are missing in etc/modprobe.conf Expected Results: The modules present in /etc/modules.conf (kernel 2.4 under FC1) should be transferred to /etc/modprobe.conf (kernel 2.6 under FC2) in the way sbin/generate-modprobe.conf do (when it's working). Additional info: I'm not sure anaconda is using the script /sbin/generate-modprobe.conf, but when the system is upgraded from FC1 to FC2, it whould be useful to sbin/generate-modprobe.conf to work
Did you have a modprobe.conf before upgrading? If so, entries will not be converted.
I think the mistake I did was to upgrade from FC1 to FC2 with the CD of FC1, instead of using a new version af Anaconda.
