The boot modules in /var/boot/modules are different
from runtime modules in /lib/modules.
/lib/modules /var/boot/modules
------------- -------------------------
part of modules.lrp part of root.lrp
for ip_masq_*.o's for nic and scsi and cdrom .o's
The reason the boot time modules are part of root.lrp is that
they are used to boot the computer, and must be loaded by the
kernel during the bootstrapping process.
Does that help? (answer, back up root.lrp).
Tip: always use apkg -s <packagename>.lrp
and back up what you want, when you want, safely.
Cheers,
Matthew
