When I upgraded my system to linux26-headers-2.6.6-r1, I emerged glibc then issued emerge -e system. After the compiles were complete, module loading ceased to work. I got 'QM_MODULES function not supported' during shutdown and startup and when issuing modules-update. I'm running a 2.6 kernel, so modutils is deadly. There are actually two bugs here: 1) My system list appears to be defective (no module-init-tools) 2) module-init-tools should block modutils or the modutils ebuild should detect and honor the presence of module-init-tools. Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. emerge -e system 2. 3. Actual Results: modutils was selected but not module-init-tools. Expected Results: Either module-init-tools only or modutils then module-init-tools should be selected. emerge info Portage 2.0.50-r9 (default-x86-2004.0, gcc-3.3.3, glibc-2.3.4.20040619-r0, 2.6.7-gentoo-r11) ================================================================= System uname: 2.6.7-gentoo-r11 i686 Intel(R) Pentium(R) 4 CPU 2.40GHz Gentoo Base System version 1.5.1 ccache version 2.3 [enabled] Autoconf: sys-devel/autoconf-2.59-r4 Automake: sys-devel/automake-1.8.5-r1 ACCEPT_KEYWORDS="x86 ~x86" AUTOCLEAN="yes" CFLAGS="-O2 -pipe -march=i686 -fomit-frame-pointer" CHOST="i686-pc-linux-gnu" COMPILER="gcc3" CONFIG_PROTECT="/etc /usr/X11R6/lib/X11/xkb /usr/kde/2/share/config /usr/kde/3.2/share/config /usr/kde/3/share/config /usr/lib/mozilla/defaults/pref /usr/share/config /var/qmail/control" CONFIG_PROTECT_MASK="/etc/gconf /etc/terminfo /etc/env.d" CXXFLAGS="-O2 -pipe -march=i686 -fomit-frame-pointer" DISTDIR="/usr/portage/distfiles" FEATURES="autoaddcvs ccache sandbox" GENTOO_MIRRORS="http://gentoo.oregonstate.edu http://distro.ibiblio.org/pub/Linux/distributions/gentoo" MAKEOPTS="-j2" PKGDIR="/usr/portage/packages" PORTAGE_TMPDIR="/var/tmp" PORTDIR="/usr/portage" PORTDIR_OVERLAY="/usr/portage_overlay" SYNC="rsync://rsync.gentoo.org/gentoo-portage" USE="X acpi alsa apache2 apm avi berkdb cdr crypt cups doc dvdr encode esd foomaticdb gdbm gif gnome gpm gtk gtk2 imlib java jpeg kde libg++ libwww mad mikmod motif mozilla mpeg mysql ncurses nls nptl oggvorbis opengl oss pam pdflib perl png postgres ppds python qt quicktime readline samba scanner sdl slang spell ssl svga tcltk tcpd tiff truetype usb x86 xml2 xmms xv zlib"
the 2004.0 profile was updated to make sure module-init-tools was the default for the modutils virtual. would you please unmerge modutils && emrge && emerge sync && emerge gentoo-dev-sources (or some other kernel sources which use kernel-2.eclass) to ensure it picks up module-init-tools
I followed your recommendation, and now problem is solved. emerge -pe system now selects module-init-tools. Thanks, you may close.
glad its fixed. thanks
