Hello,
Last morning, I accidently deleted /etc/rc* (great, find-command combined with rm -f... ) and decided to start a new installation. I do have all the directories /etc, /usr, /var copied to a safe place but they don't help me now.
Setup: Debian unstable, kernel 2.6.7, on a Via EPIA M10000 board.
The biggest problem I'm having:
modconf wasn't installed by default, had to apt-get it myself. Now it
only complains that modprobe.conf is missing.
you should have the last modules-init-tools package installed...
and the see /usr/share/application/module-init-tools/examples
there is a script which generate the modprobe.conf (you have to gunzip him and give the x right !!!)
thanks to Jean-luc coulon which gave me this tips this week in the french list !!
If I do a touch /etc/modprobe.conf, it doesn't complain anymore but when I remove some audio modules with modconf, they're automagically back after a reboot. I think this may be one of the reasons ALSA won't work.
Resources on the internet suggest this 'touch /etc/modprobe.conf' but that isn't the solution for me. I also read that modern installations don't need it. I also read about using generate-modprobe.conf script, but can't find it.
Also, a minor problem: during boot it complains about a missing usb_uhci module. I know that this is a leftover from the 2.4 kernel, but I can't get rid of it.
Any help, please?
