Hi,
I upgraded my unstable system from kernel 2.4.25 to 2.6.4. I still have a couple of minor problems.
1. After the kernel has booted and init is running when modprobe is trying to insert drivers it is complaining all the time about a whole list of drivers which already have been loaded. This is true but I don't see why modprobe should complain all the time and produce a list of around ten drivers which already have been loaded. So I guess there is something wrong with my setup. Should I install more stuff then the only the kernel image? For the 2.4 kernels for example there is the package
kernel-pcmcia-modules and I run Debian on a laptop with PCMCIA and a wireless card.
The stock kernels have been compiled with very different configurations between 2.4 and 2.6. Because the computer generally knows what modules to load at startup by reading a list of module names from /etc/modules, I'm not surprised that you would be getting several that had already been loaded - because you hadn't modified /etc/modules since the upgrade. Go ahead and ignore the errors, or remove the offending entries from /etc/modules and see whether things still work (they should).
