Description Christopher Sachs 2004-02-13 15:07:04 UTC 
I am running Gentoo on a 15" Aluminium PowerBook G4 with the latest benh 2.6 kernel. I get red asterisks at startup warning me that the QM_MODULES function is not implemented in depmod and that the system canot calculate module dependencies.

I have emerged modutils several times. The latest portage version is system-apps/modutils-2.4.25. I have also tried building modutils-2.4.26 on my own and when I run depmod I get the same error.

# depmod
depmod:  QM_MODULES: Function not implemented

My PowerBook runs great for relatively new hardware running linux. KDE 3.2 runs very well but I can't get the sound to work until I compile the ALSA driver which I can't do because of this depmod problem, I believe. I also don't like seeing those red asterisks during startup ;-)

I also get the same QM_MODULES: Function not implemented warning when running make modules_install while recompiling my kernel.

Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
# emerge modutils
(...)
# depmod
Actual Results:  
QM_MODULES: Function not implemented 

Expected Results:

Comment 1 Chris PeBenito (RETIRED) gentoo-dev 2004-02-13 15:14:33 UTC 
2.6 kernels require module-init-tools instead of modutils.
Comment 2 Christopher Sachs 2004-02-13 16:46:54 UTC 
Gotcha. Sorry about that.
