System: Fedora Core 1
modprobe: Can't open dependencies file /lib/modules/2.4.22-1.2188.nptl/modules.dep (No such file or directory)
I have been getting this error in my Logwatch file. I think up2date must have modified something and I cannot figure out how to fix it. The computer is a server which is remotely hosted so I cannot physically get to it. Is there something I can do to resolve this problem? I have been doing some reading and I think that by using depmodules I can fix it. Does this sound correct? I don't want to do anything to screw up the system since it is located 1200 miles away. They will reload the system image if I mess something up real bad but the charge is pretty steep. I would also have to reload all of my server stuff which isn't appealing either. :-)
Here is some more info if it will help out:
uname -a gives: 2.4.22-1.2188.nptl
under /lib/modules the only directory present is: 2.4.22-1.2197.nptl This directory does have a file called "modules.dep" contained within it.
From my reading, it seems like all I need to do is change a configuration file somewhere to have it look in the right place for the modules. I want to be sure I don't screw something up on the server though.
Thanks in advance for the help !!!!
Looks like you've upgraded the kernel with 'rpm -F' instead of 'rpm -i' You could verify if the old kernel is still there with:
rpm -q kernel
If necessary (as long as you have a working kernel and rpm) could install back the old kernel with:
rpm -ivh --oldpackage kernel.....rpm
The solutuion would be to reboot to the new 2197 kernel.
