Subject: Re: 2.6.37-rc3-git installed modules zero bytes long
Date: Sat, 26 Feb 2011 01:41:39 +0000 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <4D685A53.9000900@blueyonder.co.uk> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <4CF5116B.8040204@blueyonder.co.uk>
This problem has showed up again in 2.6.38-rc6-git5 and openSUSE 11.4
RC1. The previous kernel 2.6.38-rc6-git2 was OK.
The modules are OK before a reboot, after a reboot all modules are zero
bytes long. I'm building 2.6.38-rc6-git6 to see if that suffers the same
problem, e.g.
# ls -l /lib/modules/2.6.38-rc6-git5/kernel/drivers/net|less
