loading ... il.o.gz will taint the kernel: no license

[Steve Scrimpshire]

Problem solved. I reinstalled 9.1 and now I can't downgrade my gcc to 2.96 without breaking too many things (My previous install must've had some quirks that allowed me to do it), so I just kept 8.1 for compiling stuff. To stop the annoying kernel panic, I disabled ifplugd, which is not as easy as you think, since it is not run as a service, but it started by coding in /etc/hotplug/net.agent and /etc/rc.d/init.d/network. So, I hacked those two scripts to disable it. In /etc/hotplug/net.agent, I did this:

#     if [ "$AUTOMATIC_IFCFG" != no -a "${INTERFACE:0:3}" == "eth" -a ! -r $CFG ]; #then

#  if [ -r $PCMCIA ] && grep -q "$INTERFACE$" $PCMCIA; #then

#      ONBOOT=no

#  else

#      ONBOOT=yes

#  fi

#  debug_mesg creating config file for $INTERFACE

#  cat > $CFG <<EOF

#DEVICE=$INTERFACE

#BOOTPROTO=dhcp

#ONBOOT=$ONBOOT

#EOF

#            fi



#     if [ -r $CFG ]; then

 # Mandrake Linux and similar

#  if [ "${INTERFACE:0:3}" == "eth" -a -x /sbin/ifplugd ] && ! grep -q '^MII_NOT_SUPPORTED' $CFG; #then

#      IFPLUGD_ARGS="${IFPLUGD_ARGS=-w -b}"

#      debug_mesg invoke ifplugd $INTERFACE

#      exec /sbin/ifplugd $IFPLUGD_ARGS -i $INTERFACE >/dev/null

#  fi

 

I just commented out all the stuff pertaining to ifplugd. /etc/rc.d/init.d/network was slightly more difficult:

 

I changed this:

  if  [ "${DEVICE:0:3}" != "eth" -o ${DEVICE/:/} != ${DEVICE} -o ! -x /sbin/ifplugd ] || grep -q '^MII_NOT_SUPPORTED' ifcfg-$i; then

     action "Bringing up interface %s: " $i ./ifup $DEVICE boot

 else

     IFPLUGD_ARGS="${IFPLUGD_ARGS=-w -b}"

     action "Bringing up interface %s: " $i /sbin/ifplugd $IFPLUGD_ARGS -i $DEVICE

 fi

to

if  [ "${DEVICE:0:3}" != "eth" -o ${DEVICE/:/} != ${DEVICE} -o ! -x /sbin/ifplugd ] || grep -q '^MII_NOT_SUPPORTED' ifcfg-$i; then

     action "Bringing up interface %s: " $i ./ifup $DEVICE boot

 else

     IFPLUGD_ARGS="${IFPLUGD_ARGS=-w -b}"

     action "Bringing up interface %s: " $i ./ifup $DEVICE boot

 fi
