Reopen Issue

The Revisor software requires you to be running the exact same kernel version that you are trying to build on a live image. First noticed it when my images were missing modules. Here are some of the errors I got

FATAL: Could not load /lib/modules/2.6.21-1.3228.fc7/modules.dep: No such file or directory

This happened for all of the modules it was looking for.

That is version 2.0.3, not 2.0.4

Milestone for this is 2.0.4 nonetheless. We need to have the full log for that run, {{{/var/log/revisor.log}}} has that info.

  • does it look for the modules.dep in the chroot?
  • is installing the kernel on the host enough to circumvent this?

No, it looks for modules.dep on the local FS. I would expect just having the kernel installed would be enough, but we did not test.

Ok... the program works when you update the kernel and the kernel headers.

Nope... I was lying... My bad.
It does NOT work.
Also, as another side note, this is a x86_64 bit system trying to build a x86 image.

Adjusted the summary of this ticket to reflect the actual issue

We've not seen this again.
