Re: Modprobe error and kerneld question

I fixed the binfmt_java problem.  It seems that there was an alias (I
know not from where it is not in conf.modules) for binfmt-310
binfmt_java.  When I try to run java progs it looks for binfmt--310
(note the two dashes), so I added an alias to binfmt--310 and voila it
worked.

 Don't get me wrong, but maybe you don't use the mount command the right
 way ?
 
 To mount a CD-Rom you have to use something like mount -t iso9660
 /dev/hdb /cdrom
 
 To mount a fat Partition mount -t fat /dev/hda6 /mnt

You are right to ask -- no offense taken.  My understanding is that by
setting fstab up correctly I do not need those commandline params.  Do
not quote me, but my fstab reads something like:

...
/dev/cdrom  /cdrom  iso9660 user,noauto
/dev/fd0/floppy msdos   conv=auto
...

I know that is not quite right but I do not have Internet access fully
setup yet.  When I compile the fs into the kernel these settings work,
when I make the fs's modules I have to insmod first.

Re: Modprobe error and kerneld question

Hi, everyone --

I am having the same problem as the original poster; my kerneld (yes, I
_do_ have _only_ auto enabled in /etc/conf.modules) doesn't want to
mount the floppy in msdos automagically. However, when I do (as root)
insmod /lib/modules/2.0.30/fs/fat.o ;followed by
insmod /lib/modules/2.0.30/fs/msdos.o I can mount the floppy using -t
msdos option. I have tried and can _not_ mount the floppy even after the
insmod ../fat.o is executed, if it isn't followed by insmod.../msdos.o
command. I have both fs types configured as modules, and I have done so
in 2.0.27 kernel (but I can't prove it anymore :-)) without problems I'm
having now.
Maybe this is a feature, that you _have_ to build the fat support right
in...
Just my 2 cents

If /dev/cdrom is a link to /dev/hdX you may find that umount won't work
properly. Mount will follow the link and mount the right device, but put
the real name in /etc/mtab. Umount will then complain that the mount point
/cdrom doesn't match the device in mtab and fstab.

Glad you got conf.modules to insmod correctly.

Is /dev/cdrom a symlink or a hard link?
or: would it work if /dev/cdrom was a hard link??
Sorry, I don't have the source of mount handy right now.

It works now.  I ran a depmod -a and reorganized my conf.modules.  The
kerneld/module docs all say they are going to be removed -- so I had no
where to turn for info.  The only two problems left are my
char-major-10-130 (which is an alias to softdog, whatever that is) and I
can not load binfmt_java as a module by kerneld.  When I try to run a
compiled class file I get a kernel error saying could not find
binfmt--310.  I have all my errors going to tty6 otherwise I would have
noticed the errors for the fs problem I was having.

Softdog is the software implemetation of the watchdog, I believe.  If
you're not using that then you probably don't need to alias ..

Well, I don't use it either, but have the alias with no problems.

You could try to alias char-major-10-130 off.

If you did compile watchdog support in your kernel, I believe you also
need a device in /dev.

 I don't know what char-mode-10 is (maybe you could check the
I mistyped ( I was not at my box ) it says char-major-10
 
 Regarding the second question:
 
 do you have a line auto in your /etc/modules ?
 
I do have auto in etc modules and nothing else.  PPP/serial/slhc loads
as a module when I use pon/poff without my intervention, but isofs and
msdos/fat do not when I use mount.

I have my mouse, ethernet card and DOS filesystems loaded by kerneld,
so obviously it is possible.  The iso9660 and minix filesystems are
compiled as modules and are loaded as needed too.

(BTW, psaux is char-major-10, along with some other things.)

 During boot modprobe comes back and tells me that char-mode-10 could not

 thought the idea was to not have to.
 
I don't know what char-mode-10 is (maybe you could check the
documentation in the kernel sourcetree). To get rid of the warning you
can append alias char-mode-10 off to your /etc/conf.modules.

Better you find out what this charmode is first :-)

do you have a line auto in your /etc/modules ?
