Re: [gentoo-dev] kernel 2.4.10 further issues

[Nathaniel Grady]

I have that problem all the time (well, every time i compile my kernel just about...). The quick and dirty solution is just while "unable to load module net-pf1"'s are flying bye, login as root (you're at a login prompt - you just can't see it cauz of all the crap), run depmod -a and voila, it stopps and goes away untilly you descided it's time for a new kernel... that is:
->reboot to new kernel
->wait for some net-pf1 errors to go by
->type root and hit enter
->type password and hit enter
->type depmod -a and hit enter
-> should be fixed :)
