msg : cannot create ksymoops/nnnnn.ksyms

[f5ibh]

Hi,

With all the kernel 2.2.xx, 2.4.0-testxx, I have the following message at
boot time :

VFS: Mounted root (ext2 filesystem) readonly.
Freeing unused kernel memory: 56k freed
INIT: version 2.78 booting
NET4: Unix domain sockets 1.0 for Linux NET4.0.
insmod: /lib/modules/2.2.19pre6/misc/unix.o: cannot create /var/log/ksymoops/20010106112242.ksyms Read-only file system
Loading /etc/console-tools/default.kmap
Activating swap...
Adding Swap: 131088k swap-space (priority -1)
Checking root file system...


As it was harmless, I've not taken care of it. I have the same with
2.4.0-prerelease but with 2.4.0 final, there is an unfinite loop with this 
message together with a an other one :

insmod:/lib/modules/2.4.0/kernel/net/unix/unix.o : insmod net-pf-1 failed.

Do I missed something in modules.conf ? Is there a specific alias to net-pf-1 ?

System is :
K6-2/500, 128Mb, running Debian 2.2 
I've tested with both modutils 2.3.24 and 2.4.0

man insmod, look for /var/log/ksymoops.  If you define this directory
then it is expected to be writable when modules are loaded.  Logging
module data for ksymoops is a user selectable option, you have to
decide to use it, and you have done so.

>insmod:/lib/modules/2.4.0/kernel/net/unix/unix.o : insmod net-pf-1 failed.

"alias net-pf-1 unix" is a built in alias.  Looks like you did not
compile for Unix sockets and something in the kernel wants Unix
sockets.  If you really do not want Unix sockets, "alias net-pf-1 off".

Ok, I knew that, the problem is why unix.o is loaded so early ? I've not found
where it is requested / loaded (I've kmod enabled).

This was a configuration error. I had missed a configuration step. Thank you.

Probably syslog().
