Description Daniel Ceregatti 2004-11-25 22:39:47 UTC
dano ~ # modules-update 
 * Warning: could not generate /etc/modprobe.conf!

Ok...so I take a look at the script and determine that it's running:

dano ~ # /sbin/generate-modprobe.conf
Cannot find old version of modprobe. Giving up.

Then I remember adding no-old-linux to the last compile of module-init-tools. I then fix that:

dano ~ # USE="-no-old-linux" emerge -va module-init-tools

I now run modules-update, and it's fine.

Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
1. emerge module-init-tools with +no-old-linux
2. run modules-update
3.
