Thanks... I tried it, but didn't reboot yet. I was going to upgrade |
9 |
kernel at the same time, it tells me this during "make install" phase: |
10 |
|
11 |
DEPMOD 3.2.11-gentoo |
12 |
Warning: you may need to install module-init-tools |
13 |
See http://www.codemonkey.org.uk/docs/post-halloween-2.6.txt |
14 |
|
15 |
But looking in the scripts seems the test is not valid for kmod: |
16 |
|
17 |
if ! "$DEPMOD" -V 2>/dev/null | grep -q module-init-tools; then |
18 |
echo "Warning: you may need to install module-init-tools" >&2 |
19 |
echo "See http://www.codemonkey.org.uk/docs/post-halloween-2.6.txt" >&2 |
20 |
sleep 1 |
21 |
fi |
22 |
|
23 |
so I think it's a false alarm. |
24 |
|
25 |
Now I just found |
26 |
http://comments.gmane.org/gmane.linux.kernel.modules/659 this seems to |
27 |
confirm it. And of course while I was compiling, the new kernel 3.3 |
28 |
has showed up in portage, with this problem fixed. :) |
29 |
|
30 |
Now I'm rebooting, watching ping replied, fingers crossed... it's |
31 |
alive! Success. :) |
32 |
|

Thanks, |
