No module symbols loaded. -

Hi Should there normally be any module symbols to load ? - purely IDE - P-intel-200 PC SuSE70 system - 2.4.2-4GB Inspecting /boot/System.map-2.4.2-4GB Loaded 11431 symbols from /boot/System.map-2.4.2-4GB. Symbols match kernel version 2.4.2. No module symbols loaded. <<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<< ???? klogd 1.3-3, log source = ksyslog started. <4>Linux version 2.4.2-4GB (root(a)Pentium.suse.de) (gcc version 2.95.3 20010125 (prerelease)) #1 Fri Mar 2 12:07:31 GMT 2001 Also should I be using 2.4.2-4GB kernel - from ftp/suse/update/71/kernel/ k_deflt_24-2.4.2-4.i386.rpm - installed to be named ( 2.4.2-4GB ) ? , Is it necessary to rename 2.4.2-4GB and /lib/modules/2.4.2-4GB to 2.4.2 - for any reason ? Everything seems to work - so far as I have checked - ALSA sound got updated OK - ppp seems to work - except that Xosview has no ''NET'' anymore , and firewall dosn't seem to be working - something to do with IP-chains Some kind of a Gotcha - when trying to update the kernel I guess - incompatable packages from 70 with 71's ppp update ?? I tryed to keep with all my 70 files - except ppp -had to go to ftp/suse/71 for the update - to match the new kernel and modules. modutils.rpm , and modules - are now up on , ftp/suse/update/70 in the correct versions for new 2.4.2 kernels - if suse would just put the few things that are needed to update to 2.4.2 and any requirement files - as stated in the changes file , then all would a lot easier on us end users . thanks for any input-help on this confusion - -- God does not play dice" -- Einstein "Not only does God play dice, he sometimes throws them where they can't be seen." -- Stephen Hawking

Unfortunately the slow response time has a very bad interaction with the 30-day time limit on PE support. Paul Abrahams

KDM shutdown: messages are invisible
by Paul W. Abrahams 30 Mar '01

30 Mar '01

When I first installed 7.1, I noticed that when I did a shutdown from the graphical login manager KDM (which 7.1 installs by default), the X window terminated and I saw the normal sequence of shutdown messages in a text window (virtual terminal 1, I presume). But at some point as I was updating my system (alas, I don't know when), the behavior changed: now I get an immovable cursor on the screen until the computer actually shuts down, and no visible messages. Presumably the X server is still alive and controlling the screen but not doing anything. How can I see those shutdown messages again? Paul Abrahams

Re: Re: [SLE] compiling kernel 2.4.1
by Nachiket 30 Mar '01

Hi No what i said was a mistake.I typed 'make modules_install' actually.If i typed something wrong then make would give an error. Can u explain what parts i have to select to build the modules.Looks like i missed something while doing 'make xconfig'. Thanx for the reply nachiket Nachiket wrote: > > I got sources for kernel 2.4.1.I was able to build the kernel without any > problem.But when i did > make install_modules nothing got copied to /lib/modules/2.4.1. > I did do a make xconfig before building. > I know there is option for modular kernel which was selected. Did i miss > something ?????. Did you actually type 'make install_modules'? If you did, then what you should have typed is 'make modules_install'... If you did type it correctly, then it may just be that you didn't actually select any parts of the kernel to be built as modules. Also note that the actual modules are stored somewhere under /lib/modules/2.4.x/kernel for the 2.4.x kernels.

boot errors
by Otto Porter 30 Mar '01

30 Mar '01

I recently installed suse 7.1 and apparently after making some configuration changes (manually) the shutdown and boot process is throwing a lot of error messages. I read traffic elsewhere to the effect that I failed to run SuSEconfig from the CL. Ok, I stand corrected, but how do I fix this mess now? Here is a portion of the boot.omsg file: ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- -------------------------------------- Setting up timezone data done Setting up loopback device done Setting up hostname done /etc/init.d/boot.d/S10serial: /etc/rc.config.d/idedma.rc.config: Permission denied Configuring serial ports...

Is Realplayer a security risk?
by Jonathan Drews 30 Mar '01

30 Mar '01

Hi: I installed Realplayer 8. for Linux, on my SuSE 7.1 box a while back. I installed it with YAST1 and it works perfectly. I heard that Realplayer is a web spider of sorts. That is, it streams info about your box back to Real.com. Is this true? Also if I have all the updates installed on my box do they inhibit RealPlayer from being a Security risk? -- Cheers, Jonathan

lockdsvc : invalid argument. when loading nfsserver in 2.4.2
by Avi Schwartz 30 Mar '01

30 Mar '01

When starting up the nfsserver under Kernel 2.4.2 I get the error message lockdsvc : invalid argument. Searching the Internet (thanks Google!), I found some messages in the linux-kernel mailing list that there is no need to start rpc.lockd from the init scripts any more when using rhe 2.4.X kernels as it is loaded automatically on mount. I commented out these line from /etc/rc.d/nfsserver: checkproc -n lockd || \ /usr/sbin/rpc.lockd and restarted the NFS server. The error is gone and so far everything seems to work. Two questions: 1) Am I inviting problems by commenting out these lines? Is there a security issue? 2) If they are no longer needed, could SuSE please fix the scripts.

eth0 or SoundBlaster Live but not both!
by Avi Schwartz 30 Mar '01

30 Mar '01

Hi, I have a weird problem. I just installed a SoundBlaster Live card in my system and suddenly I find that I can get networking (eth0) working or sound but not at the same time. If the eth0 driver is loaded first then any attempt to load emu10k1 fails with init_module: No such device. If the sound works then my networking is down. Apparently there is some IO or IRQ conflict. Any idea how to fix this? Thanks, Avi -- Avi Schwartz Get a Life, avi(a)CFFtechnologies.com Get Linux!
