Bug 171658 – module-init-tools: minor bug in modules-update

• Status: RESOLVED DUPLICATE of bug 165134
• Product: Gentoo Linux

[Description Jimmy.Jazz 2007-03-21 10:24:39 UTC]

Hello,

modules-update returns sometimes an error when called from /sbin/rc. Your system won't obligatory have one of the ".../System.map*" files available at this time while the loop "for" will always return /System.map.
The variable cfg will be set and you get a error message during the boot process from depmod, like "FATAL: /System.map not found" or something like that.

As a solution, i suggest you:

                do
-                       cfg="${cfg}/System.map"
+                       scfg="${cfg}/System.map"
                        for suffix in -genkernel-{${arch},'*'}-${KV} -${KV} "" ; do
-                               scfg=$(echo ${cfg}${suffix})
+                               scfg=$(echo ${scfg}${suffix})
                                scfg=${scfg%% *}
                                [[ -f ${scfg} ]] && cfg=${scfg} && break 2
                        done

Also, if System.map* isn't found, depmod won't be called with the -F option.

Reproducible: Always
