Posted: Tue Feb 18, 2014 9:24 pm Post subject: [MOSTLY SOLVED] Unable to load emerged modules |
|
|
On my system, emerge -av @module-rebuild after a kernel (sys-kernel/gentoo-sources-3.11.8 ) upgrade shows me 3 packages to be reinstalled:
Code: | /usr/src/linux $ sudo emerge -pv @module-rebuild
Calculating dependencies... done!
[ebuild R ] x11-drivers/nvidia-drivers-331.38 USE="X acpi (multilib) tools -pax_kernel" 0 kB
[ebuild R ~] app-emulation/vmware-modules-271.2 USE="-pax_kernel" 0 kB
[ebuild R ~] net-wireless/broadcom-sta-6.30.223.141 0 kB
|
However, after successfully emerging the modules, I am unable to load any of them:
Code: | /usr/src/linux $ sudo modprobe --verbose wl
insmod /lib/modules/3.11.8-gentoo/net/wireless/wl.ko
modprobe: ERROR: could not insert 'wl': Exec format error
|
Searching in /var/log/dmesg and /var/log/messages does not show me any errors:
Code: | Feb 18 14:14:07 localhost sudo: dave : TTY=pts/0 ; PWD=/usr/src/linux-3.11.8-gentoo ; USER=root ; COMMAND=/sbin/modprobe --verbose wl
Feb 18 14:14:07 localhost sudo: pam_unix(sudo:session): session opened for user root by dave(uid=0)
Feb 18 14:14:07 localhost sudo: pam_unix(sudo:session): session closed for user root
|
Code: | /usr/src/linux $ sudo grep wl /var/log/dmesg
/usr/src/linux $
|
I have done a make clean on my kernel and rebuilt it, but after emerging these modules I can still not load them, and get the "Exec format error". Only emerged modules have this problem.. modules built with the kernel itself load fine:

I build my kernel manually with a make && make modules_install. I have checked my symlink, and it is good:
Code: | $ sudo eselect kernel show
Current kernel symlink:
/usr/src/linux-3.11.8-gentoo
|
Any help is much appreciated. I am not having any luck getting this resolved.

pinion,
Those modules are all emerged against the kernel pointed to by /usr/src/linux.
I guess its not pointing to the kernel you are running, so the moules are installed against the 'wrong' kernel.
Maybe you are not running the kernel you think you are. Look at the output of
The Time/Date is the build time of the running kernel.
Code: | $ uname -a
Linux NeddySeagoon_Static 3.13.3-gentoo #1 SMP PREEMPT Sat Feb 15 19:29:18 GMT 2014 x86_64 AMD Phenom(tm) II X6 1090T Processor AuthenticAMD GNU/Linux |

Here is what uname -a tells me:

pinion,
That's the 11th build of 3.11.8-gentoo and it happened at Sat Feb 15 22:45:53 MST.
Is that correct or have you built your kernel more recently?
The versions match, which is required but not sufficient. _________________ Regards,

I just did another make clean/rebuild.. and it indicates its the 15th build.. strange. I've been using gentoo for years now, but maybe I just have been using an incorrect procedure for doing this.
These are the steps I just took:
Code: | sudo su
mount /boot
cd /usr/src/linux
make clean
rm -rf /lib64/modules/3.11.8-gentoo/ /lib/modules/3.11.8-gentoo/ (to make sure no other modules are out there.. dont usually do that)
cp /boot/config-x86_64-3.11.8-gentoo .config
make && make modules_install
cp arch/x86_64/boot/bzImage /boot/kernel-x86_64-3.11.8-gentoo
cp .config /boot/config-x86_64-3.11.8-gentoo
grub2-mkconfig -o /boot/grub/grub.cfg
reboot...
sudo emerge -av nvidia-drivers
|
modprobe nvidia gives the Exec format error
same thing for broadcom-sta and vmware-modules
Thanks |

pinion,
Well, Given that the kernel can count its builds, the last build was #14, not #11
Do the build dates check out with your memory?
Danger Will Robinson ...
Code: | grub2-mkconfig -o /boot/grub/grub.cfg |
I've never used grub2
Exec format error has lots of causes. dmesg may help further.
As long as /usr/src/linux points to your new kernel, you can build the out of tree modules before tho reboot.
This has the advantage that you should never be without Xorg.
Please post the output of and the content of /boot/grub/grub.cfg
For completeness sake, when /boot is not mounted /boot should be empty, is it? _________________ Regards,

In trying to fix this, I switched to 3.12.7 from gentoo-sources, and removed everything else.. (I left the other sources, but made sure the symlink points to the correct one). I manually purged the modules, did a make clean, and built the kernel and booted to it a few times. I have the same problem, however.
I failed to mention earlier that when I emerge these modules, I get permission issues, which I have to step through and add read access to (o+r). I have had that happening for awhile.. ever since I last upgraded my kernel, and have had no issues loading modules built from the kernel. I'm not sure what's causing that.. it's just mainly a pain when I build these modules.

pinion,
Well you only have one kernel in that /boot.
Do you have /boot on any other HDD too?
That way lies madness but I have seen users install perfectly good kernels in /boot on the wrong drive, so I need to ask.
If you only have one drive, it can only be booting that kernel.
Where do you get permissions issues?
Setting things world readable in relation to kernel modules sounds like a very bad thing. Only root should be able to load modules.
Compare the permissions on your modules tree with mine
Code: | $ ls -l /lib/modules/`uname -r`
total 528
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 28 Feb 16 11:05 build -> /usr/src/linux-3.13.3-gentoo

-rw-r--r-- 1 root root 97194 Feb 17 21:31 modules.symbols.bin
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 28 Feb 16 11:05 source -> /usr/src/linux-3.13.3-gentoo | since only root can run modprobe, permissions of 640 woks just as well.
In a random subdir, I get Code: | $ ls -l /lib/modules/`uname -r`/misc
total 484
-rw-r--r-- 1 root root 416352 Feb 17 21:31 vboxdrv.ko
-rw-r--r-- 1 root root 12152 Feb 17 21:31 vboxnetadp.ko
-rw-r--r-- 1 root root 32344 Feb 17 21:31 vboxnetflt.ko
-rw-r--r-- 1 root root 30664 Feb 17 21:31 vboxpci.ko | but they are all the same.
The `uname -r` runs uname -r and puts the result in the command, so it returns things related to the running kernel. _________________ Regards,

Yeah, I removed the older kernels to clean things up a bit. I only have the one drive (I encrypted it though.. so I have a custom init script in the initramfs.cpio.gz file).

When I emerge a module, I need to give read access to a few files inside the kernel source (/usr/src/linux/include/generated/autoconf.h for instance).. and executable permissions to a few scripts also inside the kernel source files. I have found that once you compile the kernel, it resets permissions as well. I don't understand why I run into the permission issues, as the files are all rw by root, and I always do a 'sudo emerge' to install something. |

I re-emerged portage, did a 'chmod a+rXw -R' on /usr/src/linux, and re-emerged the modules... and now I can load the modules (nvidia & wl.. emerging vmware-modules-279.0 or 271.2 failed). I can use my wifi adapter, however it crashes every few minutes and restarts.. which it was doing before I ran into this problem and is what spawned me upgrading my kernel and modules to begin with. I am unable to start X, but I am chasing down X errors to figure out why.
I am really curious why I get these permission issues against /usr/src/linux. It has only been going on for a few months, after upgrading a bunch of stuff on my system. I install modules using 'sudo emerge', and root has rwx access to all of /usr/src/linux as it should.
Anyway, Once I get my X issues straightened out with the nvidia driver, I will be somewhat set.
Thanks for the help. |

So, I was wrong... it seemed the ability to load modules was a fluke, as apon rebooting I could no longer load emerged modules. I discovered that the emerged modules were all ELF files, where the modules built with the kernel were not. I finally took a year old config of my kernel I had saved, loaded that into menuconfig and built a clean kernel off of it, and that worked! Except, I still get the strange /usr/src/linux permission problems when emerging modules. I am unable to get vmware-modules to emerge, but that appears to be a 3.12 kernel issue with vmware, and for the time being I am just using VirtualBox, which seems to work just fine.
Here is a diff of the kernel .config that worked ( < ) and the one I was using previously ( > ):

Do you see what may have caused the modules to not load?
Thanks |

To have a clean of /usr/src/linux source code, I would do
Code: | make mrproper
make clean |
The kernel and the initramfs versions loaded by Grub must be the same. That's imply (re)create an initramfs for the kernel version who have been (re)installed, every time you (re)install one. _________________ Paul |

Logicien,
That is true if the initrd contains kernel modules.
My user space only initrd from April 2009 is still working properly. _________________ Regards,

NeddySeagoon,
I was precisely thinking to an initramfs who contain kernel modules. Your initrd from 2009 should contain some binaries and librairies of that time that have been upgraded on your Gentoo box since then. Would you not like to upgrade your initrd too? _________________ Paul |

I guess it really comes down to where your initrd is coming from, and what modules/built-ins it is using. Personally, since I encrypt my hard drive, I made the initrd I am using, and use minimal built-in drivers (no modules). So, I don't update it unless there is a specific need to. However, if using something like genkernel, I can see it would make sense to update the initrd with every kernel build. |

Logicien,
My initrd is like firmware it runs one at every boot, does its job then exits.
I don't care about security updates as it does not interact with the outside world - even the keyboard, so it cannot be used to attack my system.
Why would I want to change it?
I'll make a new initrd next year, when I get a new PC :) _________________ Regards,
