After pacman kernel upgrade, modules won't load

I can't seem to load any of my modules anymore, so I can't even get my network up (via_rhine).  I am posting this from a different computer.
My uname -r says:
2.6.11.7-ARCH
but my last kernel upgrade message in /var/log/pacman.log says:
uprgaded kernel26 (2.6.10.3 -> 2.6.11.3-1)
So, what's up here?

that is kinda odd - usually when you upgrade a kernel, here's what happens:
running kernel 2.6.11.1
modules are in /lib/modules/2.6.11.1/*
upgrade 2.6.11.1->2.6.11.7
dir /lib/modules/2.6.11.1 removed
dir /lib/modules/2.6.11.7 created and filled
(modprobes will fail now)
reboot, init scripts will call "depmod -a" to tell modprobe that modules moved and to cache locations
maybe the depmod didn't get called?

  • Onboard audio modules won't load after Skype install on 64b Arch

    Hi,
    I've a fully updated Arch 64b/KDE 4.5.2 (new PC).
    My motherboard has a Realtek ALC889 Audio controller, and, in addition I have a Radeon 5600 graphic PCIe card with HDMI output.
    I have the on-board audio controller enabled at the BIOS.
    Initially, my audio worked fine, till I installed (from Arch repositories) Skype along with required 32b libraries.
    My current status, after reboot:
    The 889 module is not loaded (see below), only the one included in the graphic card.
    When logging in KDE, I do hear the sounds.
    Although Skype loads and logs-in fine, I can't hear Skype's test sounds nor does it capture the microphone connected to my motherboard back microphone plug. (Skype options offer ONLy Pulse Audio both for output and capture).
    Both alsa-utils and alsa-oss are installed.
    Please advise how do I restore full Audio capabilities (along with functional Skype).
    Thanks!
    I've tried to follow the Alsa wiki of Arch with the following results:

    I've tried to modify my /etc/modprobe.d/modprobe.conf to the following  but, during boot, noticed a message saying modprobe ignores the option due to an error. The same happened also after omitting the "index=0" per the Wiki's recommendation.
    # /etc/modprobe.d/modprobe.conf (for v2.6 kernels)
    options snd-pcsp index=2
    # disable autoload of ipv6

    options snd-pcsp index=1

    p0x8  Thank you for the response, yes the host is Arch Linux.  I am running the most current version of Virtual Box v4.2.8-1.
    Now, with what you are saying, what I am missing.  How do I get the VMs to work properly.  So far, I have been able to get the Network up and running via each VM, Mouse and Keyboard integration is working.  Also was able to get USB devices working as well.  But my screen resolution is garbage for all 3 VM's.  In doing some other reading, I noted where within the VM (Windows XP to be specific) there will be an icon on the lower right corner stating Oracle VM Virtualbox Guest Additions.  This will also display a VBox system trey for lack of a better word on the bottom where you can attach devices and what not.  That is what I am trying to get working on all 3 of my VMs.
    Thank you again, and I should have paid more attention to detail as that section of the Wiki does say "Arch Guest" and not "Arch Host"
    Edit:  One thing I wanted to add.  In reading the wiki it states:
    Guest additions disc The virtualbox package also suggests installing virtualbox-guest-iso on the host (Arch Linux) running VirtualBox. It is a disc image that can be used to install the guest additions onto guest systems. Make it available to the (running) guest by going to Devices and clicking "Install Guest Additions... Host+D". Then run the guest additions installation from inside the guest.
    I don't see the "Devices" option in order to run this.  I have the virtualbox-guest-iso package installed in Arch, but when running the VM, I don't see a "Devices" option.

  • [SOLVED] VirtualBox complaining after each kernel upgrade

    I'm using virtualbox-bin from the AUR (the one with USB support) and after each kernel update this error comes up:
    I know it's actually /etc/rc.d/vboxdrv setup
    (apparently VirtualBox isn't aware of which distribution it's running on)
    This message comes up every once in a while (usually after a kernel upgrade) and I was wondering if I can do something about it... Should I install the DKMS package from the AUR prior to running the above command? Maybe that will shut it up once and for all.
    What do you think?
    PS: The wiki says to run "vboxbuild" but /usr/bin/vboxbuild doesn't even exist.
    Last edited by DSpider (2012-05-15 15:39:13)

    Solved it a year later because I got tired of running "sudo /etc/rc.d/vboxdrv setup && sudo modprobe vboxdrv" after every kernel update. Hmph... After reading this and studying the virtualbox-hook package from the AUR, I decided that it's finally time to look into it.
    It's easy.
    1. Create a "/lib/initcpio/install/vbox" file (or whatever you wanna call it) with the following contents:
    # vim: set ft=sh:
    build ()
    echo "Building VirtualBox modules..."
    /etc/rc.d/vboxdrv setup
    echo "Ok."
    help ()
    cat<<HELPEOF
    This hook rebuilds VirtualBox modules. It does nothing to the initrd image.
    HELPEOF
    2. Add it to the "HOOKS" section from /etc/mkinitcpio.conf:
    HOOKS="base udev autodetect pata scsi sata usbinput filesystems vbox"
    Now the next time the linux and linux-headers packages are updated, the script will kick in and the modules will be rebuilt. I used to have it during boot process and it took forever until it would load X. Haha. I remember I used to go to bathroom just after I turned on the computer... Yeah, it took that long before it was done. Anyway, I asked the author if he can perhaps create a virtualbox-bin-hook package or somehow modify it to also work with virtualbox-bin. We shall see.
    Oh, and don't forget to add "vboxdrv" to the "MODULES" section from /etc/rc.conf, if you haven't done so already.

  • Is SGEN execution required after a kernel upgrade

    Hi experts,
    I have done a system kernel upgrade from 700 to 701 version after which all the transactions start compiling as i run them.
    I would like to know if SGEN is to be run after a kernel upgrade and if so what option to select as SGEN typically takes long time.
    If i start SGEN, and if it takes long can i stop it in between with the intention of not continuing it? would there be a problem?
    Please suggest.
    Regards,
    Sandeep.

    Hi,
    We are going EHP1 so we upgraded the kernel to 701 level. After that , all transactions are getting compiled so we started SGEN.
    I was also of the impression that SGEN need not run after kernel. however, had no other option as transaction compiling was taking  long time.
    Please check this link http://help.sap.com/saphelp_sm32/helpdata/en/b1/52583c65399965e10000000a114084/frameset.htm
    In prerequisites its written :
    Applying kernel patches may lead to the invalidation of all loads.
    Kindly suggest.
    I have stopped the SGEN now.
    Due to some constraints, we have to delay the patch upgrade to EHP1. I would like to know whether i can put the old kernel 700 back? and would the SGEN run on kernel 701 would have any problem on that. ?
    Is downgrade of kernel possible?
    Regards,
    Sandeep

  • Hibernate after a kernel upgrade

    Has it ever happened to you that you lost your session because you did a hibernate after a kernel upgrade without rebooting first? I commented on an existing bug upstream, where the outcome was that every distro should handle this by themselves. Later I filled one with arch.
    By posting in the forums I want to go more public with it, to see if anyone has had the same problems and if we can come up with some ideas. Mine are in the bug description...
    arch bugreport:
    http://bugs.archlinux.org/task/17462
    upstram bugreport:
    http://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=21492

    I (and I'm sure, the majority of Arch users) know quite well that a system is unlikely to resume cleanly from hibernation after a kernel upgrade.  If anything, the issue here is quickly finishing up whatever else you were doing, and then forgetting the need to reboot.  I know I could find myself doing this quite easily.
    While its not a huge issue (and I wouldn't really like to see a handful of packages modified in an attempt to support this), having a means to implement this in pacman would be very nice.  Specifically, a hooks system, such as Allan has described here, would be ideal.  In this particular case, those who wish to prevent hibernation (or, perhaps an alternate solution which would keep the system hibernate-able) would have a simple mechanism with which to implement it.
    Of course, while a hook system in pacman would be handy, it would also be quite an undertaking.

    Hi,
    I use acpi_call-git and unfortunately after each kernel upgrade I have to reinstall the application in order to make it work.

    As you already said, you have to reinstall the package after each kernel upgrade, i do that with acpi_call-git , too.
    There is a solution for this called DKMS .

  • Network keeps failing after recent kernel upgrade

    I upgraded my kernel this morning to the newest version of 2.6.17, and as soon as I rebooted the Network started saying FAIL each time. Can anyone help me diagnose the problem?
    Side note :
    I remembered that I had also modified the inittab to use gdm before I rebooted. Would that have any kind of effect?

    I've had that problem as well. It's because the modular kernels load the modules at the same time, and because of that which module is initialized first isn't the same at every boot. So the names eth0, eth1 and eth2 for example may change at next boot. Even if you have only one network card, the ethernet over firewire module might be loaded. I solved it by setting eth0, eth1 and eth2 to dhcp, starting them all at boot and starting network in the background (to prevent wating for the two devices that won't start). To find out what devicenames are used, do a "ifconfig -a"
    IIRC there is another solution too - you can search through the forums for it.
    ATM I'm running a custom kernel with all the network modules built-in - that way the network device names are the same at every boot.

  • System less responsive after udev/kernel upgrade

    Yeah, another udev/kernel upgrade question.  After upgrading udev and the kernel yesterday my terminal is less responsive.  For example, scrolling is slow and jerky, and uses an inordanite amount of cpu.  ls /usr/bin will cause the cpu usage to spike ~70% which is much higher than normal.  I can cause the cpu to go to 100%  by scrolling quickly in vim.  I do not see this in firefox, however.  Scrolling there is responsive and does not use any additional cpu beyond what it took before the update.
    I really don't know where to start to troubleshoot this - the only thing I have noticed is that the speedstep-centrino module is not loading any longer. 
    pmorris@arch:~ $ sudo modprobe speedstep-centrino
    FATAL: Error inserting speedstep_centrino (/lib/modules/2.6.15-ARCH/kernel/arch/i386/kernel/cpu/cpufreq/speedstep-centrino.ko): Device or resource busy
    This is on an ibm thinkpad T40p.  I am still getting cpu scaling, but the system is generally less responsive.  It may be taking longer to scale up the cpu frequency on demand.  Any help is appreciated.  Thanks.

    tpowa wrote:perhaps a bug in how udev loads the cpufreq modules. can you tell me which modules you would need? then just blacklist the modules you don't need...
    Thanks, this worked.  Prior to the upgrade I was using the speedstep-centrino module, and loading it in the modules array in /etc/rc.conf.  After the upgrade the acpi-cpufreq module was being autoloaded at boot prior to my trying to load the speedstep-centrino module, hence the "device or resource busy" failure when I tried to load the speedstep module.  After blacklisting all modules listed in /lib/modules/2.6.15-ARCH/kernel/arch/i386/kernel/cpu/cpufreq except the speedstep-centrino, things are working fine.  The correct module is loaded at boot time.
    Is there a cleaner method to achieve this other than blacklisting all unwanted modules?

  • Is a reboot necessary after a kernel upgrade? [SOLVED/Answered =)]

    Hey folks, longtime arch user (since ~2006), first time registration/post.
    Just a dead-simple question: is it necessary for me to reboot my Arch systems after 'pacman -Syu' kernel upgrades? I've always done it out of sheer habit coming from a WIndows Sysadmin world where every darn update needs a reboot.
    Thanks in advance.

    Wow, thanks y'all for the fast replies. Sounds like my instincts were right .
    I have to say I'm blown away by the reliability of this Linux distro. Like I implied, my day job has for years required me to interact with Windows client & server OSes on a daily basis, and the level of random issues/headaches that crop up in that ecosystem is rather astounding. In contrast, I've had as of yet zero problems with my 2 Arch servers. I've had the same essential configs since the first installations of them years ago, and barring a couple reinstalls due to hard drive failures they've been smooth as silk the whole time. Kudos to that.

    I have forgot about  emergency booting. But this problem is temporary, there is real problem:
    - nvidia-71xx is no longer supported and has been removed from the repositories. Affected users should install xf86-video-nv or xf86-video-vesa, complaints can be sent to nvidia for not providing compatible drivers.
    nv driver doesn`t support direct rendering (and 3D), don`t?  And I can`t use more archlinux AND  other distros after updating to new Xorg?

    Hello Pramod,
    Is this load is to load to initial level ODS? If Yes I understand that you have issue in loading but not at activation of the ODS?
    Normally this kind of issue comes during the activation of ODS.
    1. If you are getting this during the data loads, then try to check loading only to PSA first and then from PSA to target? And check how much time that it's taking as this will help to track the issue whether its present in Source or in BW?
    2. If the load is fine till PSA then try loading the same to ODS and then check whether this issue is present or not?
    3. At the same you need to check the source side the system load and the number of processors which are available?
    4. Did you perform the delta queue draining before the stack upgrade in R/3 or not? Normally as a pre-requisite this needs to be done if not then you will have issues in extracting the data!
    5. Finally this can be avoided by having Initwithout data transfer and then performing the Delta loads. BUt for this need to first extract all the data from Source to BW and then take a down time in R/3 for few min and perform this activity so that the Init Timstamp will be reset properly and the Delta should work fine for you.
    Do get back to us with more details.
    Thanks

  • VFAT kernel module won't load [SOLVED]

    I'm running kernel version 3.7.5 and after the update that got me to that version, it appears to have completely borked VFAT and kernel modules in general. My system still runs fine, but the vfat module is missing and cannot be loaded with modprobe or insmod. Oddly, the kernel object exists in /usr/lib/modules, yet my system seems to be ignoring it. Upon further investigation, it appears that it is impossible to load or remove ANY modules using modprobe or insmod. I recently did a reinstall of Arch, following exactly the steps in the Beginner's Guide, if that makes any difference.
    Help? Please? I need the vfat module loaded before I can compile a custom kernel (my next big project)
