 Posted: Fri Mar 15, 2013 1:41 am Post subject: Mkinitcpio not adding modules when updating kernel |
 |
|
when i run mkinitcpio with hardened-sources-3.8.2-r1 i get
mkinitcpio -k 3.8.2-hardened-r1 -g /boot/initrd-3.8.2-hardened-r1
| Code: | | WARNING: No modules were added to the image. This is probably not what you want. |
I ran the same commands as with my previous kernels and doublechecked my mkinitcpio config files and they have not changed during an upgrade.
After some research i found this thread https://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?id=148037 and they mentionned there was an /lib -> /usr/lib migration, but did that happen on gentoo?
currently my modules are in /lib/modules/kernel-version...
If i run mkinit cpio with a previous kernel i dont get the same warning,which is strange since both kernels use the same paths to store their modules.
I will try reinstalling grep from a live cd tomorrow, but i doubt it is the problem since kernel 3.7.9 does not have this bug.
Any clues?

Did a stage 4 of my setup , copied it to another identical node, extracted the stage4, chrooted, unmerged mkinitcpio and reemerged it with oneshot , and bug is gone.
Now im going to stage4 again and reinstall the first machine if unmerging and remerge does not work. |

Got the bug again when upgrading a fresh install to 3.8.3 kernel and unmergeing and remerging grep/mkinitcpio/kernel did not do the trick.
I hope there another way than reinstalling a whole machine just to upgrade my kernel.
Tried every way they suggest on the arch forum to specify kernel version and nothing helps.
EDIT:
I always get this on my two identical machines,so i will try on another machine.
REDIT: Added module versioning support to my kernel as a temporary fix, allowing it to use the modules from the latest kernel working with mkinitcpio. |
