Re: [cobalt-developers] RedHat won't reboot

["Francisco Jorge" <franjorge@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

Hi,

I have tried your kernel and it works fine. The only strange thing I have 
noticed is that in the first reboot the following message appeared:

modprobe: Can't open dependencies file 
/lib/modules/2.4.18-24.8.0cobalt-III/modules.dep (No such file or directory)

The next time I rebooted the Cobalt this message did not came out. Any idea 
why? I have installed the kernel with this command:

rpm -Fvh kernel-cobalt-III-2.4.18-24.8.0.i386.rpm

Regards and thanks,
Fran
