I've just moved from a fully-functional 8.1 to 8.2 (clean install) and am now experiencing some module-related weirdness. At boot time, modprobe issues numerous errors of the form
modprobe: Can't open dependencies file /lib/module/2.4.20-4GB/modules.dep (No such file or directory)
Once the system is booted, log in as root and run "depmod -a"
Tried this. Had to edit /etc/modules.conf so set paths to point to the actual directory, /lib/modules/2.4.20-4GB-athlon. Ended up with a different error (line breaks are my own): /lib/modules/2.4.20-4GB-athlon/kernel/drivers/scsi/ide-scsi.o: kernel-module version mismatch /lib/modules/2.4.20-4GB-athlon/kernel/drivers/scsi/ide-scsi.o was compiled for kernel version 2.4.20-4GB-athlon while this kernel is version 2.4.20-4GB. I can't work around this by renaming the modules dir to 2.4.20-4GB; the same error occurs. So it seems there's a clear discrepancy between the installed kernel and the installed modules. Incidentally, uname reports 2.4.20-4GB, and my system genuinely does have an Athlon CPU. Any suggestions for ways to proceed that don't involve recompiling kernel or modules? I'll do this if I have to, but surely shouldn't need to, given that there were no such problems when installing 8.1 on the same hardware. Nick
