I decided for various reasons to un-mothball a P3-700 system with latest installed anything 11.1M2 running some variant of 2.6.27. I used zypper to rm various non-necessities and streamline the dup process to Factory. After the rms I did in the following: rpm zypper libzypp satsolver-tools wget curl hal dbus-1 udev glibc mkinitrd openSUSE-release yast2-bootloader perl-Bootloader and the deps they pulled. Then I did in kernel-default, which failed to create initrd due to inability to find modules.dep for 2.6.38. At the time I didn't recognize what that meant, but since found that was what should have been installed as /lib/modules/2.6.38-4-default/modules.dep. The question is, by what process is modules.dep created? Is it supposed to be a part of the kernel rpm, or is it generated by calling depmod from the rpm installation script, or something else? It would no longer boot off either old kernel or new kernel, so I opened it via chroot to actually do the dup, which managed to install 2.6.38-4-pae with a modules.dep file. Did I catch a bad break by getting a broken 2.6.38-4-default rpm, or was some consequence of the partial upgrade from 11.2M2 to Factory 11.5 the problem, or something else? -- "The wise are known for their understanding, and pleasant words are persuasive."
