I am trying to bring a 3.3 system up to date by adding in the 2.4.26 kernel like the 3.4 CD has. I did the install and recieved some warnings.

Code:
Setting up kernel-image-2.4.26-1-686-smp (2.4.26-2) ...
depmod: *** Unresolved symbols in /lib/modules/extra/alsa/snd-ad1816a.o
depmod: *** Unresolved symbols in /lib/modules/extra/alsa/snd-als100.o
depmod: *** Unresolved symbols in /lib/modules/extra/alsa/snd-azt2320.o
depmod: *** Unresolved symbols in /lib/modules/extra/alsa/snd-cmi8330.o
depmod: *** Unresolved symbols in /lib/modules/extra/alsa/snd-cs4232.o
depmod: *** Unresolved symbols in /lib/modules/extra/alsa/snd-cs4236.o
depmod: *** Unresolved symbols in /lib/modules/extra/alsa/snd-cs4281.o
depmod: *** Unresolved symbols in /lib/modules/extra/alsa/snd-cs46xx.o
Then I istalled:
kernel-headers... kernel-source ... module-init-tools was current.
I adjusted lilo.config, set vga=normal and rebooted.

The interesting files in /boot/ are:
Code:
-rw-r--r--    1 root     root        38746 Oct  3  2003 config-2.4.22-xfs

/etc/lilo.conf looks like:
Code:
default=2.4.22

image=/boot/vmlinuz-2.4.26-1-686-smp
        label=2.4.26
        initrd=/boot/initrd.img-2.4.26-1-686-smp
        read-only
        
image=/boot/vmlinuz-2.4.22-xfs
        label=2.4.22
        initrd=/boot/initrd.gz
        read-only
#       restricted
#       alias=1
Upon booting 2.4.26, 3 screens of text scroll by so fast as to be unreadable. But the end was many lines of:
Code:
modprobe:modprobe: Can't open dependancies file /lib/modules/extra/modules.dep
The file does exist and I can read it. The funny part is that all the paths point to the old 2.4.22-xfs, not the newly installed 2.4.26. Shouldn't there be one of these /extra/ directories for each kernel version. The other thing that may be just a coincidence is that all the modules in the /extra/ directory are here beacause of alsa, which I can't get to make a peep.

What next ?? Delete all the files in /extra/ and worry about the incomplete package later?
