7:11am GMT+7 --
Well, here I am at work on a Saturday. With any luck this new machine will be bugfree(tm) by the end of the day. It's an agressive schedule, but if I can pull it off I get the Thanksgiving holiday weekend off. (Go team!)
I've read the Laplink-HOWTO and started working on getting my new-to-me laptop on my home network. If I can do that, I'll install the rest of Debian off the Internet and have a shweet dev environment for my business trips.
I've noticed a problem: Recompiling my kernel to use modules (I had a monolithic kernel before -- ask and I'll tell you why), the make modules_install step didn't work. It looks like there's a command line switch being passed to depmod that it doesn't understand.
- Details:
- depmod -V tells me depmod 2.1.121
- kernel rev is 2.4.0-test10
- suspicious commandline option: -F System.map
Where can I find a later version of depmod? This kernel boots, but I get all kinds of errors during startup about /lib/modules/2.4.0- test10/modules.dep being empty...
I guess this is when I figure out if anyone but me reads these diary entries. Feel free to mail me about this one. I'm stumped.
