From Bugzilla Helper: User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; en-US; rv:1.7) Gecko/20040808 Firefox/0.9.3 Description of problem: Did a "yum upgrade" and rebooted. When system came up using the modprobe or insmod commands from the 3.1-0.pre5 module-init-tools package would result in a "segfault". Finding the previous "module-init-tools-3.0-2.i386.rpm" and doing an "rpm -Uvh --oldpackage module-init-tools-3.0-2.i386.rpm" fixed the problem. MD5SUM of new package: 7fcf51e0b8c8ae71209bcf5b25bdf95b module-init-tools-3.1-0.pre5.1.i386.rpm I also verified that the "pre5" packaged had installed correctly by running "rpm -vV module-init-tools-3.1-0.pre5.1" and the components came back as correct. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): module-init-tools-3.1-0.pre5.1 How reproducible: Didn't try Steps to Reproduce: 1. Unknown. Possibly install module-init-tools-3.1-0.pre5 RPM...? 2. 3. Actual Results: sedfault whenever a "modprobe" or "insmod" is issued. Other programs in the package such as "lsmod" appear to work fine. Expected Results: Module should have been inserted. Additional info:
