rc.modules points to the wrong file. Is this a buG?
I set up slackware 11.0 by first installing it with the 2.4 kernel then I installed the 2.6-smp packages.
I have just noticed: lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 19 2006-10-09 20:00 rc.modules -> rc.modules-2.4.33.3* -rwxr-xr-x 1 root root 25553 2006-09-01 09:31 rc.modules-2.4.33.3* -rwxr-xr-x 1 root root 28472 2006-09-30 23:38 rc.modules-2.6.17.13-smp* rc.modules is pointing to the wrong file. Does this matter? Is this a bug in the installation? |
No, it is not a bug, although you can fix the link to point to the rc.modules-2.6.17.13-smp file if you like.
Slackware will look for a suitable "rc.modules" file it can use, and there is a certain order in the way it looks for a good one: first it will look for a "rc.modules-<kernelversion>", then for a symlink called "rc.modules" and ultimately it will look for a real actual file called rc.modules. The first file that isfound will be used. In your case, the rc.modules-2.6.17.13-smp file is found first and used if you run the 2.6.17.13-smp kernel. If you should reboot into 2.4.33.3, then the rc.modules-2.4.33.3 file would be used instead. Eric |
Thanks very much
