Hello all!
I'm running Redhat 5.0 on an IBM Thinkpad 385XD. PCMCIA cs-3.0.6 and
kernel 2.0.36. All has been working great until last Friday, when I ran
"depmod -a". When I rebooted, wierd things started happening:
----------------------------------
Mounting local filesystems.
modprobe: insmod: /proc/modules: No such file or directory
modprobe: insmod: /proc/modules: No such file or directory
Turning on user and group quotas for local filesystems
Setting clock: modprobe: can't locate module char-major-10-135

Notes:
- /proc/modules does exist as a 0 byte file.
- No kernel I boot with works cleanly now - all give the same problems
(even the system default of 2.0.32)
- I have successfully been using kernel versions 2.0.35 and 2.0.36 for a
few weeks now. Modules work as expected, pcmcia stuff works great, all was
happy as the proverbial clam. These messages started after I ran depmod
-a. (which is odd, since this is supposedly run during bootup?)
To further compound this, when I log in, all filesystems are mounted as
expected, and the clock is set correctly. Running hwclock --hwtosys works
with no complaints from the command line, but whines during bootup. I
can't find anything operationally wrong with the machine, except these darn
messages.
What happened to my system? What do those messages mean? How can I fix it?
Cheers!
