Bug 57091 – lsmod: QM_MODULES: Function not implemented

• Product: Gentoo Linux
• Status: RESOLVED WORKSFORME

[Description Aaron Peterson 2004-07-14 17:46:25 UTC]

wow.. My system didn't boot up right (modules didn't load)
I recompiled the kernel with gcc 3.4.1 :(
(I think I also checked the 3 register ABI option, but that has worked a few times with gcc 3.4.dated) so.. I'm not sure if that has anything to do with it..

I also used genkernel.. 3.0.2c


Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
1.
2.
3.

Actual Results:  
bash-2.05b# modprobe
modprobe: QM_MODULES: Function not implemented

modprobe: Nothing to load ???
Specify at least a module or a wildcard like \*
bash-2.05b# lsmod
Module                  Size  Used by    Not tainted
lsmod: QM_MODULES: Function not implemented

bash-2.05b# whoami
root

bash-2.05b# modprobe
modprobe: QM_MODULES: Function not implemented

modprobe: Nothing to load ???
Specify at least a module or a wildcard like \*
bash-2.05b#

bash-2.05b# ls
build        modules.generic_string  modules.parportmap  modules.usbmap
kernel       modules.ieee1394map     modules.pcimap      video
modules.dep  modules.isapnpmap       modules.pnpbiosmap
bash-2.05b# cd video/
bash-2.05b# ls
nvidia.ko
bash-2.05b# modprobe nvidia.ko
modprobe: QM_MODULES: Function not implemented

insmod: QM_MODULES: Function not implemented

insmod: insmod /lib/modules/2.6.7-gentoo-r11/video/nvidia.ko failed
insmod: QM_MODULES: Function not implemented

insmod: QM_MODULES: Function not implemented

insmod: insmod nvidia.ko failed
bash-2.05b# insmod nvidia.ko
insmod: QM_MODULES: Function not implemented

bash-2.05b# pwd
/lib/modules/2.6.7-gentoo-r11/video
bash-2.05b#




Expected Results:  
*sigh*
(I just made my network card not be a module, and my sound card not be a module)
(and went with unaccelerated nvidia drivers for a bit)

yes, I'm trying bleeding edge stuff.. but I'm willing to report bugs, so
hopefully that's good enough..
gcc 3.4.1-r1 and kernel 2.6.7-gentoo-r11...  and this also happened on other
kernels..

I'm going to try re-installing module-init-tools...

and another possible thing, was my libtool stuff was corrupted?

I just ran:
cp -i /usr/portage/sys-devel/gcc/files/awk/fixlafiles.awk /lib/rcscripts/awk/
and
bash-2.05b# /usr/portage/sys-devel/gcc/files/fix_libtool_files.sh 3.4.0

which might fix everything... but don't hold your breath..

[Comment 1 Aaron Peterson 2004-07-14 18:06:23 UTC]

ok,
after that fun lib tool stuff, and recompiling module-init-tools.. lsmod and modprobe work..

Just want to let a few people know that...

(I put it under gcc-porting because.. that's the only masked thing that I'm playing with now)

[Comment 2 Aaron Peterson 2004-08-31 22:04:14 UTC]

remerge modutils...

[Comment 3 Donnie Berkholz (RETIRED) 2004-08-31 22:24:21 UTC]

Yep, I already did that (module-init-tools, actually), and it fixed the QM_MODULES problem. But it would be nice to have a way for that problem to not happen in the first place.

I've got some other SCSI-related issues with unknown symbols lingering, but that's off-topic.
