Also posted upstream to LKML. This problem has showed up again in 2.6.38-rc6-git5 and openSUSE 11.4 RC1. The previous kernel 2.6.38-rc6-git2 is OK. The modules are OK before a reboot, after a reboot all modules are zero bytes long. I'm building 2.6.38-rc6-git6 to see if that suffers the same problem, e.g. # ls -l /lib/modules/2.6.38-rc6-git5/kernel/drivers/net|less total 3652 drwxr-xr-x 34 root root 4096 Feb 26 00:10 ./ drwxr-xr-x 52 root root 4096 Feb 26 00:10 ../ -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 0 Feb 26 00:10 3c59x.ko -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 0 Feb 26 00:10 8139cp.ko -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 0 Feb 26 00:10 8139too.ko -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 0 Feb 26 00:10 8390.ko -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 0 Feb 26 00:10 acenic.ko -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 0 Feb 26 00:10 amd8111e.ko drwxr-xr-x 2 root root 21 Feb 26 00:10 appletalk/ drwxr-xr-x 2 root root 21 Feb 26 00:10 atl1c/ drwxr-xr-x 2 root root 21 Feb 26 00:10 atl1e/ drwxr-xr-x 2 root root 34 Feb 26 00:10 atlx/ -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 0 Feb 26 00:10 atp.ko -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 0 Feb 26 00:10 b44.ko drwxr-xr-x 2 root root 22 Feb 26 00:10 benet/ -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 0 Feb 26 00:10 bnx2.ko drwxr-xr-x 2 root root 21 Feb 26 00:10 bnx2x/ drwxr-xr-x 2 root root 23 Feb 26 00:10 bonding/ -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 0 Feb 26 00:10 bsd_comp.ko -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 0 Feb 26 00:10 cassini.ko drwxr-xr-x 2 root root 20 Feb 26 00:10 chelsio/ -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 0 Feb 26 00:10 cnic.ko drwxr-xr-x 2 root root 21 Feb 26 00:10 cxgb3/ -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 0 Feb 26 00:10 de600.ko -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 0 Feb 26 00:10 de620.ko -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 0 Feb 26 00:10 defxx.ko -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 0 Feb 26 00:10 dl2k.ko -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 0 Feb 26 00:10 dnet.ko -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 0 Feb 26 00:10 dummy.ko Asus Crosshair III Motherboard, Phenom II X4 and 8G of memory.

openSUSE 11.3 on one box and openSUSE 11.4 Milestone 4 on the other. I have a message that says the built modules not found. When I check e.g /lib/modules/2.7.37-rc3-git7-smp, most modules are zero bytes long. I have to "make modules_install" and use modprobe on each. To get the network up on the 11.3 box "modprobe r6189" then "rcnetwork restart", "modprobe rtl8187", "/etc/init.d/network-remotefs start", etc., etc. Then ifconfig is OK for those devices. eth_s1_0 Link encap:Ethernet HWaddr 00:1C:F0:BB:14:E1 inet addr:192.168.10.10 Bcast:192.168.10.255 Mask:255.255.255.0 inet6 addr: fe80::21c:f0ff:febb:14e1/64 Scope:Link UP BROADCAST RUNNING MULTICAST MTU:1500 Metric:1 RX packets:1927 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 frame:0 TX packets:1923 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 carrier:0 collisions:0 txqueuelen:1000 RX bytes:287532 (280.7 Kb) TX bytes:283044 (276.4 Kb) Interrupt:17 Base address:0xe000 wlan0 Link encap:Ethernet HWaddr 00:15:AF:23:04:37 inet addr:192.168.1.4 Bcast:192.168.1.255 Mask:255.255.255.0 inet6 addr: fe80::215:afff:fe23:437/64 Scope:Link UP BROADCAST RUNNING MULTICAST MTU:1500 Metric:1 RX packets:25 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 frame:0 TX packets:62 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 carrier:0 collisions:0 txqueuelen:1000 RX bytes:4324 (4.2 Kb) TX bytes:18470 (18.0 Kb)
