Bug 32288 – 2.6.0-test9: installed modules in wrong place, etc.

• Status: RESOLVED FIXED
• Product: Gentoo Linux

[Description John (EBo) David 2003-10-29 12:42:03 UTC]

linux-2.6.0-test9 + patchset-0.2 attempts to install modules into a nonexistant directory </lib/modules/2.6.0-test9-patchset-0.2> then the kernel loads modules from /lib/modules/2.6.0-test9.

This is probably a minor issue since this covers patchsets to developmenta kernels, however I marked it critical since odd behaviour can result such as not installing recompiled modules then loading these originally compiled and installed from the first linux-2.6.0-test9 distribution!

Simple workaround is a symbolic link:

  ln -s /lib/modules/2.6.0-test9 /lib/modules/2.6.0-test9-patchset-0.2

I blundered a little with this ebuild eh!
not to worry, I shall package mask this version and the next version will
explain all :)
