Description of problem: I'm running FC3 on an HP Proliant server, with some core packages upgraded to FC4-development RPMs. Recently I upgraded the kernel to 2.6.11-1234_FC4smp. On boot I get the following error: insmod: error inserting '/lib/sd_mod.ko': -1 unknown symbol in module ERROR: /bin/insmod exited abnormally File descriptor 3 left open File descriptor 3 left open mount: error 6 mounting ext3 kernel panic I'm guessing that the initrd is missing some module that it needs, causing an "unknown symbol" error?
mixing bits and pieces from two different releases is nearly always going to break something, so this probably falls into the 'unfixable' category due to the disparate state of your userspace. Though I'm curious why the initrd is using insmod instead of modprobe. Jeremy ?
This is at the very beginning of the boot process, so not much of the system is actually involved at that point. I upgraded to the latest module-init-tools and binutils, but other than that and the kernel RPM, I don't know what else would be involved this early on in booting. Did I miss anything?
This was the only report of this that came up, so its likely very unique to your setup. As I believe this to be fixed in current trees, I'm going to close this.
