Description Isamar Maia 2007-06-25 14:06:21 UTC
Description of problem:

Everytime modprobe command is called, the file
/lib/modules/`uname -r`/modules.dep size goes to zero-length and
I am obligated to call "depmod -a"

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):


I am using FC6 with module-init-tools 3.3-0.pre1.4.17
The only particularity is that I did a re-spin of original FC6
to build a single CD FC6 installation. 


How reproducible:

modprobe <any-module>

* SELINUX is disabled
* /etc/modprobe.d/ has default files

I did a workaround making a "chattr +i" to the modules.dep file.



Steps to Reproduce:
1.
2.
3.
  
Actual results:

modules.dep file size is being zeroed after modprobe call.

Expected results:




Additional info:

Please, let me know if necessary any other information.
