Yesterday everything was working OK. Today I start my SuSE 7.3 box and my boot log is full of failed messages and I cannot start X.
It appears that somehow I have lost my modules.dep file. My boot.msg file shows:
"doneSetting up /lib/modules/2.4.10-4GBfailed"
and subsequently reports:
"modprobe: modprobe: Can't open dependencies file /lib/modules/2.4.10-4GB/modules.dep (No such file or directory)"
Can anyone offer any advice on how to repair this problem.
TIA
Dave
More Information: depmod -a reports: depmod: Unexpected value (20) in '/lib/modules/2.4.20-GB/kernel/drivers/ieee1394/sbp2.o' for ieee194_device_size It is likely that the kernel structure has changed, if so then you probably need a new version of modutils to handle this kernel. Check linux/Documentation/Changes. I have not changed the kernel structure, or anything else in the last week or more and I don't have any ieee1394 hardware installed. Any advice or guidance on this problem would be appreciated. Dave
