Earlier today I downloaded _again_ 'kernel-2.2.17-21mdk.i586.rpm'. I rebooted and as root used kpackage to install the rpm package. Everything _appeared_ to run normally except for a message saying 'Execution of script failed', What script failed? Where can I go to view said script to locate the source or reason for the failure? The kernel is there, the system boots ok, there don't appear to be any errors in dmesg or in /var/log/message, however I'm intrigued by the content of my /boot directory, as follows: total 1703 drwxr-xr-x 4 root root 1024 Nov 16 15:49 ./ drwxr-xr-x 20 root root 4096 Nov 11 22:53 ../ lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 13 Nov 16 15:44 System.map -> System.map--a -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 174024 Jan 5 2000 System.map-2.2.14-15mdk -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 216464 Oct 6 00:24 System.map-2.2.17-21mdk -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 512 Nov 12 11:47 boot.0300 -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 4568 Oct 18 1999 boot.b -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 612 Oct 18 1999 chain.b drwxr-xr-x 2 root root 1024 Nov 12 11:34 grub/ -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 365 Nov 16 15:52 kernel.h drwxr-xr-x 2 root root 12288 Nov 12 10:17 lost+found/ -rw------- 1 root root 16896 Nov 16 15:49 map -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 183 Nov 14 23:22 message lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 24 Nov 12 10:58 module-info -> module-info-2.2.14-15mdk -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 11773 Jan 5 2000 module-info-2.2.14-15mdk -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 620 Oct 18 1999 os2_d.b -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 256 Nov 12 11:47 us-latin1.klt lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 10 Nov 16 15:44 vmlinuz -> vmlinuz--a -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 0 Nov 16 15:44 vmlinuz--a -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 615960 Jan 5 2000 vmlinuz-2.2.14-15mdk -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 665029 Oct 6 00:24 vmlinuz-2.2.17-21mdk -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 0 Nov 16 15:43 vmlinuz.old What intrigues is that; a) System.map is linked to System.map--a _but_ System.map--a doesn't appear in the listing - why? Where is it? b) module-info appears to be still linked to the 2.2.14 modules - why? How do I or do I need to regenerate module-info??
