[BeagleBone] Missing modules after upgrade

[WarheadsSE]

And no, pepedog it doesn't make sense that not having boot mounted is causing depmod failure to even open the dir that is _right there_

My eyes missed that

I've just encountered the same problem and found that the modules ended up in /usr/modules rather than /usr/lib/modules. The culprit seems to be this bit from commit fe247e1:
$this->bbcode_second_pass_code('', '
@@ -127,7 +127,6 @@ package_linux-am33x() {
depmod -b "$pkgdir" -F System.map "$_kernver"

# move module tree /lib -> /usr/lib
- mkdir -p "${pkgdir}/usr"
mv "$pkgdir/lib" "$pkgdir/usr"
}
')
I assume that line was removed by mistake?

[ykmag]

Can it be fixed with a simple
$this->bbcode_second_pass_code('', 'mv /usr/modules /usr/lib/modules')

or is there more to it?

Good find by the way!

Should it read
mv "$pkgdir/lib" "$pkgdir/usr/"
If so I'll put it right

[WarheadsSE]

@pepedog
Yes, it should. You are inadvertently moving /lib to /usr instead of moving /lib into /usr

I have been hainvg the same/similar issues on my BeagleBone. Based on some output the developers wanted from ykmag, I also ran the same commands requested. After running the update to linux-am33x and rebooting, uname -a still returns 3.2.18.1 but I would have expected 3.2.32-3. Here is the output for the commands I ran.

$this->bbcode_second_pass_code('', '[root@BeagleBone usr]# uname -a

After reboot, this is what I have:

Did you copy /boot/uImage to the 1st partition?

[calzon65]

pepedog, no I did not do that but I will. Using my PogoPlug, which also runs ArchLinux, I am actually makeing a fresh install on a different SD card for my BeagleBone to try that first. I wanted to take a look at the O/S on my BeagleBone after a clean install using a different SD card. Then on the current SD card in my BeagleBone, I will copy /boot/ulmage to the 1st partition as you suggest and post my results.

[calzon65]

So as an experiment I took a new microSD card and created a fresh install of ArchLinux for my BeagleBone. I thought it might be a good idea to try a completely clean install to see what happens when I use pacman.

I booted the BeagleBone with the fresh installed microSD card then ran pacman -Syu. After first updating pacman before anything else, as well as running pacman-key --init, I then ran pacman again to updated all the other modules and when upgrading the 52nd item, I get this error message.

$this->bbcode_second_pass_code('', '(36/52) upgrading linux-am33x [######################################] 100%

')

I assumed that a clean install would not come up with this error. Pepedog, are you in the middle of makeing some changes? I'm not sure if I should wait until you are done or do something else. I am willing to be the "guinea pig" to help debug clean installs.

FYI, this is the script I used on my PogoPlug to creat a fresh install of ArchLinux on the microSD card for my BeagleBone ... which does copy uImage to the boot partition. Could I be grabbing a the wrong version of ArchLinux with wget?

$this->bbcode_second_pass_code('', '# This script is used to create a new (clean) install of Arch Linux for the BeagleBone.
# Before you use this script, you must use fdisk to create two partitions on the SD card.

# The second partition is a normal Linux partition.

I thought this was strange, look at these results from the clean install. Is "-ARCH" intended to be part of the uname and depmod, especiallyl when look look at the output from ls -l /lib/modules, there is no "-ARCH" on the end of the directory name.
