I am trying to create an LVM aware initrd on Debian stable (a.k.a.
Woody, 3.0) and running into a problem. The problem is so basic though,
that I must be missing something somewhere else.
I have built and installed a new kernel, but not yet booted it (because
I need the initrd to boot it). When I try to create the initrd with
"lvmcreate_initrd <KVER>" it complains:
lvmcreate_initrd -- ERROR running depmod
When I try to run depmod just as the script does (depmod -a <KVER>) it
indeed does error out with a bunch of unresolved symbols. But they are
symbols provided by the kernel and hence the command "depmod -F
/boot/System.map-<KVER> <KVER>" is successful.
How/why does this work for everyone else? If this were a bug (not
passing the System.map to depmod) as I outline it above, surely it would
have been fixed by now.

It has, but it's not in Debian stable, it's in Debian testing and unstable.

Maybe I will nag the maintainer to put at least this bugfix into stable.
~sigh~

Actually, it is in woody-proposed-updates but whether it will actually arrive in
woody itself is up to the release manager.

I have been watching this group as I use Linux with LVM.
For the last several months I have been deleting any
and all messages that have an attachment as this is the
primary way your system can be infected by virus.
I suggest all members do not send attachments as this will make it
easer to tell if another on the list is infected.

Do you also shoot anyone who approaches the front door of your house?
Because you know, that is the primary way a burglar can get into your
house.

_I_ suggest people stop using operating systems and/or e-mail programs
that can so easily be infected with viruses, and furthermore, if they
insist on using such items, they protect themselves from viruses with
properly discriminating anit-virus software and not just throwing out
anything that could _possibly_ carry a virus.
Now seeing as this is already way OT, please be sure to direct any
followups to me personally and not the list. I am sure my kill-filters
will treat it accordingly. Thanx.
