Yeah, I think the problem here is actually in mkinitrd, not the kernel. The modules are created, just not found by mkinitrd.

since, obviously, the released rpms are getting built with those modules, that seems to imply that the system on which the release rpms are built has a different set of mkinitrd scripts. it'd be useful to compare ... can you ID the OS/ver of the build system (i'm guessing it's *not* a opensuse-factory box ...), &/or 'point' to a repo with the relevant source? -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug.

------- Comment #2 From Jeff Mahoney 2008-05-21 18:02:10 MDT [reply] ------- Yeah, I think the problem here is actually in mkinitrd, not the kernel. The modules are created, just not found by mkinitrd.

i'd offer that it isn't immediately obvious that the user should simply inherently know to "ignore the warning. They aren't errors." and "remove those modules from $DOMU_INITRD_MODULES in /etc/sysconfig/kernel" without breaking something else ... as to "which we can't be expected to support" ... noone's "expecting" you to support anything. i'm spending my time and politely asking -- after all you *do* invite us to test your betas, no? in the end, i don't think it's unreasonably bad practice to suggest that a script that *specifically* checks for *specific* modules' existence might also perhaps check for them being compiled-in -- in particular, in a case where the kernel HAS to be rebuilt because what you've delivered is otherwise (currently) not properly configured. but clearly we disagree. np. :-) all that said, thanks for the suggestion -- and I'll "remove those modules from $DOMU_INITRD_MODULES in /etc/sysconfig/kernel", and figure out whether the still present node name not found node name not found node name not found should also be 'ignored' or not. thanks! -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug.
