It seems to me that linking /lib/modules/default to the real modules directory is not enough. If there is no /lib/modules/`uname -r`/modules.dep then depmod -a will fail. To really make rhkmvtag to work I had to do it like this: --- rc.sysinit.orig Wed Apr 14 03:05:00 1999 +++ rc.sysinit Mon May 24 04:07:24 1999 @@ -174,12 +174,17 @@ mver=`uname -r` else ktag="`cat /proc/version`" - mtag=grep -l "$ktag" /lib/modules/*/.rhkmvtag 2> /dev/null + mtag=`grep -l "$ktag" /lib/modules/*/.rhkmvtag 2> /dev/null` if [ -n "$mtag" ]; then - mver=echo $mtag | sed -e 's,/lib/modules/,,' -e 's,/.rhkmvtag,,' -e 's,[ ].*$,,' + mver=`echo $mtag | sed -e 's,/lib/modules/,,' -e 's,/.rhkmvtag,,' -e 's,[ ].*$,,'` fi + mkerver="/lib/modules/`uname -r`" if [ -n "$mver" ]; then - ln -sf /lib/modules/$mver /lib/modules/default + if [ ! -d "$mkerver" -o -L "$mkerver" ]; then + # ls -sf doesn't seem able to delete a link... + rm -rf $mkerver + ln -sf /lib/modules/$mver $mkerver + fi fi fi [ -n "$mver" -a -f "/boot/module-info-$mver" ] && ln -sf /boot/module-info-$mver /boot/module-info This conicidentaly fixes bug 2755 as well.

First of all, you shouldn't be using rhkmvtag if you can avoid it. Using the EXTRAVERSION tag in the kernel makefile is much more sane. This has been fixed (in a slightly different manner) in the latest initscripts in Raw Hide.
