Description of problem: On a RHL9 system, up2date, plus packages to enable 2.6.0-test1 kernel, rc.sysinit always tries to load nonexistant keybdev and mousedev drivers on 2.6.0-test1.1.25 kernel. From boot.log: Jul 16 11:54:44 D5JPLF11 rc.sysinit: Mounting USB filesystem: succeeded Jul 16 11:54:44 D5JPLF11 modprobe: FATAL: Module keybdev not found. Jul 16 11:54:44 D5JPLF11 rc.sysinit: Initializing USB HID interface: succeeded Jul 16 11:54:44 D5JPLF11 modprobe: FATAL: Module keybdev not found. Jul 16 11:54:44 D5JPLF11 rc.sysinit: Initializing USB keyboard: failed Jul 16 11:54:44 D5JPLF11 modprobe: FATAL: Module mousedev already in kernel. Jul 16 11:54:44 D5JPLF11 rc.sysinit: Initializing USB mouse: failed Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): kernel-2.6.0-test1.1.25 initscripts-7.28-1.i386.rpm How reproducible: always Steps to Reproduce: 1. install initscripts and kernel package above 2. reboot and see messages 3. Actual results: Expected results: Additional info:
this is resolved by updating your rc.sysinit and /etc/init.d/halt scripts as per the following url: http://thomer.com/linux/migrate-to-2.6.html
Changing it exactly like that would break booting 2.4 kernels, and is therefore not an option.
Will be fixed differently in 7.44-1.
