Yes, I haven't been able to build the kernel from source, either, which can't be a good sign. Anyway, the error is unresolved symbols, which I can type out a bit by hand: ... a hundred or so unresolved symbols .... busybox: unresolved symbol remove_proc_entry_R29dccccQ busybox: unresolved symbol dm_send_namesp_event_R14e19551 busybox: unresolved symbol balance_dirty_Ra2df694 ERROR: /bin/insmod exited abnormally!

I tried this. It looks like the boot kernel does not have loopback support. I'm not sure what to do, then. >>>try, to remove /boot/initrd<of your kernel> >>>urpme last kernel >>>urpmi last kernel, and see if this fixes the problem, if it is not >>>fixed, send me what errors it gives while you are installing also. >>> > > david> I have tried, for example, if I remove the kernel, so I have no kernel > david> installed, then I do the "Upgrade install" the install will add a > david> kernel for me. > > yep, but if you install it with urpmi, you can have _several_ kernels > installed. I did install 2.4.17-10mdk from Beta 1. But when I tried to create an initrd it says: No module xfs_dmapi found for kernel 2.4.17-10mdk Someone said that creating a 2.4.18-2mdk kernel manually fixed the problem for them, but I don't know if they are using XFS or not. -- Sincerely, David Walluck <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>
