mod edit -- stuck -- pilla
I updated my packages today (on a kernel 2.6 machine) and ran into two problems:
1. At the boot stage, while executing the init script, after "Calculating module dependencies"
I now get a series of FATAL ERRORS, saying "module not found" or something similar.
I dunno how to parse exact errors here, since it doesn't show up as part of dmesg, only init script phase.
2. Alsa sound is also effected and has stopped working. more on https://forums.gentoo.org/viewtopic.php?t=128693
I'd advise people to take intense care in updating their packages this time, certainly don't do a blind "emerge -UD world"

Errors are more, but this was as far as I could scroll up and copy with my mouse:

The first FATALs are after "Calculating module dependencies", and ALSA related errors are further down.
Anyone, any idea ? what packages could have modified the init script to cause this ? |

I just did an emerge -u system on my iBook using ~ppc. On boot I now have four or five error messages like 'FATAL: cannot find module off'.
Anyone care to enlighten us...? |

I got the same problem. It looks like the error is in the latest module-init-tools (at least that's the only kernel related package that I installed yesterday).
I think it has problems with module autoloading since my alsa module snd-ymfpci required to load modules snd_hwdep, snd_opl3_lib and snd_mpu401_uart, I loaded them by hands and then I got snd-ymfpci to load.
Previous versions automatically loaded those modules just fine. But the latest version sys-apps/module-init-tools-3.0_pre6 doesn't. I'll try to downgrade back to pre5 version and see if this fixes the problem.
EDIT: confirmed, module-init-tools-3.0_pre5 work as they used to, versions pre6 and pre7 don't work. _________________ Light travels faster than sound. That's why some people appear bright before you hear them speak.

modprobe snd_mpu401_uart
modprobe snd_ac97_codec
then
modprobe snd_your_soundcard_type
works again.
Need to add above two modules into modules.autoload.d/kernel2.6 |

As I mentioned in my post, the problem is not just the sound.
other FATAL messages come up as well.
I don't think there's any point to work around it, just wait until it's fixed.
LATEST: pre6 and pre7 are both BUGGY
SOlUTION: downgrade to pre5 |

My Problem is that the system doesn't boot completly. After "Setting user font" it doesn't do anything, just blinking cursor. I even don't get the login prompt.
After booting with the LiveCD I downgraded to pre5, but that also didn't help me. I don't know what I can do. Before a few days before I updated the system everything worked. _________________ > Live Your Life > Just Go BZRK > Think 4 Yourself > Fight The System

Well, I don't think your problem is related to this bug.
But it is certainly related to something on init scripts.
I suggest manually checking the fonts init script, or even if possible remove it temporarily see if it works.
I'd suggest posting a new topic with title similar to "fonts init script hangs" to get attention of some font experts !
But for first step, I'd suggest removing "setting fonts" from init script, see if that at least allows you to boot fully into the system. |

can someone also post the temporary fix in the bugzilla.
I've lost my username and password for that
some people seem to still wonder what the solution is, lets put it in big
Downgrading to pre5 fixes the problem |

I have a solution:
I'm using the vanilla-prepatch-sources-2.4.25-pre7 and module-init-tools-3.0_pre6. I only use modules for ALSA and for my NVIDIA graphics card, and I have no such problems. So the alternative solution is, don't use modules unless you actually have some need to do so. Who cares if my kernel won't boot off a floppy?!?! _________________ Reality is for those who can't face Science Fiction.

This should solve your problem:

I've had reports that it doesn't completely solve the problem for everyone. It did for me. _________________ Ignorance should be painful. |

>> robmoss2k
Perhaps the difference is whether or not you use 2.4 kernel.
I suppose the other guys including me use 2.6 kernel instead.
Anyway, it seems there is no trouble except for the error messages.
Alsa modules are loaded correctly after booting regardless of the error.

With the 2.4 kernels, module-init-tools uses the old modutils behaviour, so you probably won't see the same problem.
Reverting to module-init-tools-3.0_pre5 (gentoo-dev-sources-2.6.1-r1) fixed the problems for me. I also had to revert to grub-0.93.20030118 today because 0.93.20031222 lacks some important patches. Oh well, I guess they don't call ~x86 "unstable" for nothing. |

Annoying bug.

I hate to ask the obvious of everyone but I haven't seen it mentioned so far in the reports... Did you all remember to run 'modules-update' ? |

And will that work? I don't feel like trying it out and having it not work because my volume gets reset when the alsa modules can't load. |

yeah, but no change ;(
well, these "FATAL: Module st not found"-related errors don't look so good, but
as far as i don't restart very often, it doesn't seem to hurt me.
everythings runs fine as always. _________________ boris64.net 200x / visit my desktop / try these tiny kernel patches |
