I'm testing v2.2.17, and have run into a problem. While the kernel is
booting, I get the following error:
Loading aic7xxx module
/lib/aic7xxx.o: Kernel-module version mismatch
/lib/aic7xxx.o was compiled for kernel version 2.2.12-20smp while this
kernel is version 2.2.17.
kmod: failed to exec /sbin/modprobe -s -k block-major-8, errno=2
VFS: cannot open root device 08:01
Kernel panic: VFS: unable to mount root fs on 08:01
Obviously, I'm upgrading from 2.2.12. Following are the steps I took:
tar xfvz linux-2.2.17
cd linux
make config
make dep
make clean
make bzImage
<lilo set up>
make modules
make modules_install
Everything /seems/ to have gone off without a hitch. All of the modules
installed in /lib/modules/2.2.17 correctly. The following directories
now exists in /lib/modules:
2.2.12-20
2.2.12-20smp
2.2.17
For whatever reason, aix7xxx doesn't seem to be recompiling or the
incorrect version is being installed. I always assumed that when
booting a kernel (such as 2.2.17), it would look to the 2.2.17 modules
library. But for some reason (again, I'm assuming here - dangerous
stuff), the system seems to be trying to pull the aic7xxx from the
2.2.12-20smp modules directory.
Does anyone have an idea as to where I need to go from here? What am I
missing?
Thanks!
