[BeagleBone] Missing modules after upgrade

[calzon65]

pepedog, any thoughts from my post above? Did I uncover a problem with a clean install of Arch on the BeagleBone?

[pepedog]

Yes, I do have thoughts on this. I don't have any of these boards myself, but know this is in the PKGBUILD.
let's see where the files are going
pacman -Ql linux-am33

Edit: I can see they are still going into /usr/modules and not /usr/lib/modules
Can't see why
https://github.com/archlinuxarm/PKGBUILDs/blob/master/core/linux-am33x/PKGBUILD
line 133

[calzon65]

Thank you for the reply pepedog.

Yes, after running pacman -Ql linux-am33x I see files installed under /usr/modules/3.2.32-3. Also, as you can see from my depmod -a output above, depmod seems to be looking for /lib/modules/3.2.31-3-ARCH.

Also, when I look at that script you linked, while looking at line 133 I was not seeing where $pkgdir is being initially set. I am not sure if that is significant.

It is not an inconvenience for me to reinstall my BeagleBone from scratch or run commands and post my results here; I would like to do what I can to help resolve this issue.

My Unix systems knowledge is a bit rusty, but please let me know how I can help.

[pepedog]

Can you
mv /usr/modules /usr/lib/modules
Then depmod -a
Just to try

[WarheadsSE]

You may need to also rename that dir. Seems the -ARCH is not making it into the directory, so there is a patch that may not be getting applied (a sed on the config actually)

[calzon65]

pepedog, are you sure you want me to run that command ... mv /usr/modules /usr/lib/modules will create /usr/lib/modules/modules.

So before I moved the directory, here is the ls -l from my existing structure.

EDIT:

WarheadsSE you caught that too. I'm glad because it makes me believe I'm not losing my mind. I noticed that a few posts back but was not sure if it was relevant since nobody commented on it. I can see from the depmod -a results, it's looking for a version (directory) that has -ARCH appended to the end. Also, I don't remember seeing -ARCH appended to the version release from previous releases (e.g., a few months ago), I wonder if the -ARCH extension is new.

Fixed in 3.2.32-4.

[calzon65]

Very nice. I am actually in the process of creating another clean microSD card ... I will post my results with the -4 version.

[calzon65]

So far the -4 version is working without incident. /usr/lib/modules looks correct and I now see the -ARCH suffix has been added ... thank you.

I manually copied /boot/uImage to the bootloader on my microSD card. I thought this might be accomplished by the upgrade script. Am I wrong? Should I always plan to manually copy /boot/uImage to my bootloader partition?

[kmihelich]

You could add the SD partition in your fstab to mount to /boot, otherwise yes, you will need to.
