I haven't been able to boot the last 3 Rawhide kernels, kernel-3.4.0-0.rc3.gitX.1.fc18.x86_64, where X = 2, 3, 4. The kernel with X = 1 boots fine. When I try to boot the other 3, I get dropped into a debug shell with dracut complaining about being unable to find various devices. Today I got around to trying to figure out why. Manually running "new-kernel-pkg --package kernel --mkinitrd --dracut --depmod --update 3.4.0-0.rc3.git4.1.fc18.x86_64" spewed a large number of lines like this:
WARNING: /lib/modules/3.4.0-0.rc3.git4.1.fc18.x86_64/kernel/net/802/psnap.ko needs unknown symbol llc_sap_close WARNING: /lib/modules/3.4.0-0.rc3.git4.1.fc18.x86_64/kernel/net/802/psnap.ko needs unknown symbol llc_sap_open WARNING: /lib/modules/3.4.0-0.rc3.git4.1.fc18.x86_64/kernel/net/802/stp.ko needs unknown symbol llc_sap_close WARNING: /lib/modules/3.4.0-0.rc3.git4.1.fc18.x86_64/kernel/net/802/stp.ko needs unknown symbol llc_sap_open WARNING: /lib/modules/3.4.0-0.rc3.git4.1.fc18.x86_64/kernel/net/802/garp.ko needs unknown symbol llc_mac_hdr_init WARNING: /lib/modules/3.4.0-0.rc3.git4.1.fc18.x86_64/kernel/net/bridge/bridge.ko needs unknown symbol llc_mac_hdr_init In the working kernel (X = 1), these symbols are provided by /lib/modules/3.4.0-0.rc3.git1.1.fc18.x86_64/kernel/net/llc/llc.ko. On the broken kernels, the llc directory is still there, but it is empty. What happened to the llc module? The pps_core module (kernel/drivers/pps/pps_core.ko) has also gone missing in the more recent kernels, accounting for still more unknown symbols. I ran "rpm -V" on the recent kernel packages and just got the expected: .......T. /lib/modules/3.4.0-0.rc3.git4.1.fc18.x86_64/modules.devname .......T. /lib/modules/3.4.0-0.rc3.git4.1.fc18.x86_64/modules.softdep Have I done something wrong, or are the recent kernels busted? -- Jerry James http://www.jamezone.org/ -- devel mailing list devel@lists.fedoraproject.org https://admin.fedoraproject.org/mailman/listinfo/devel
