[gentoo-user] module woes

[gentoo-user] module woes

[James]

Ok,

So I'm running Grub2, openrc, and a gentoo patched kernel. This is
a new system I've been fiddling with, so the problem could easily
be my oversite.

I'v build several kernels. I go into the advanced tab upon reboot
and boot up the latest kernel I've compiled, (3.13.1-gentoo). It 
boot fine. Printing works. lp and lpr still do not work for printing
raw text files?  I used cups and hplip (8600 pro officejet). All
other printing is find. 


Here is what has me stumped.I started out with this kernel:
kernel-3.10.25-gentoo. Since I have built and successfully
ran (most things) on these kernels too: kernel-3.13.0-gentoo-r1
and last: kernel-3.13.1-gentoo.

I have built these kernels same way as all others

cd /usr/src/
ln -sf <target kernel> linux
cd linux
make && make modules && make modules_install
cp arch/x86_64/boot/bzImage /boot/kernel-3.13.1-gentoo
cp System.map /boot/System.map-3.13.1-gentoo
cp .config /boot/config-3.13.1-gentoo
grub2-mkconfig -o /boot/grub/grub.cfg

So the new kernels work, but, besides permission problems, it only looks
to the original /lib/modules/ dir for modules  (example):

#  /etc/init.d/cupsd restart
 Stopping cupsd ...   
/etc/init.d/../conf.d/modules: line 25:
/lib/modules/3.10.25-gentoo/kernel/drivers/char/kcopy/kcopy.ko: Permission

nf_nat_ftp.ko ipt_MASQUERADE.ko iptable_nat.ko nf_nat_ipv4.ko>

 ERROR: modules failed to start
 Starting cupsd ...               

So what should the perms. be and what do I need to do to get it to
point to the kernel I'm booting, 3.13.1-gentoo ?

It is a grub 2 thing or what?

What did I miss, besides the permissions?

Ordinarily permissions should not apply as it's root doing the work (the
kernel mostly pretends there are no permissions when root is involved).

FWIW, the permissions on all modules files is 644:

khamul modules # pwd
/lib/modules
khamul modules # ls -al
total 36
drwxr-xr-x  7 root root  4096 Jan 27 09:36 .
drwxr-xr-x 16 root root 12288 Feb  2 10:51 ..
drwxr-xr-x  4 root root  4096 Feb  2 09:42 3.11.10-gentoo
drwxr-xr-x  5 root root  4096 Feb  2 09:40 3.12.7-gentoo
drwxr-xr-x  5 root root  4096 Feb  2 09:40 3.12.8-gentoo
drwxr-xr-x  4 root root  4096 Feb  2 18:01 3.12.9-gentoo
drwxr-xr-x  4 root root  4096 Feb  2 09:43 3.13.0-gentoo-r1
khamul modules # find /lib/modules -type f -not -perm 644
khamul modules #


That's what I just get with make && make modules && make modules_install
with no further intervention.

But even your 600 permissions should also work as normal.

Do you have some MAC system like SELinux configured? Necessary
filesystems like /proc or /dev omitted in that problematic kernel?

I can't think of anything else that could interfere with root's ability
to do what root does.

OK, the 3 /lib/module/<kernel> dir permissions have me stumped
as to why/how they could get different perms:

drwxr-xr-x 4 root root 4.0K Jan 16 16:13 3.10.25-gentoo

and viola, still the problem exists. All and I can think of
is something in how the kernels  are build (grub2)...?

I even pulled the make oldconfig script redid every thing and
I have the same problem.

I'm scratcing my head on this, as google offers little useful, that
I can find...........

Well, lookie here after a reboot:

$ dmesg | grep mod

[    0.000033] SELinux:  Starting in permissive mode

So something to do with SeLinux is activated in the kernel?

I changed all of those permissions and after a reboot to
the 3.13.1-gentoo kernel, it's still looking at the 
original (first) kernel modules:

# /etc/init.d/cupsd restart

Let's thin about this logically. A kernel does not get told it's
version, it already knows that, and modules are versioned too. A kernel
finds it's modules by looking in /path/to/modules/`uname -r`

So, either the version string is wrong in the kernel (possible I suppose
if you copy and old .config and male oldconfig goes wrong somehow) or
you have the wrong modules in the wrongly named directory.

If the version string correct if you runs trings against any of those
not-loading modules and grep for "vermagic"?

Does the correct kernel version show up when looking in strings of the
image in /boot?

[working theory: the kernel throws permission denied errors when it's
asked in weird ways to load wrong versioned modules. Pure speculation,
I've never done this at all and don't know what the error is]

uname -r returns:      3.13.1-gentoo

Checked all of that:
ls /boot
  kernel-3.13.0-gentoo-r1   kernel-3.13.1-gentoo
   grub  lost+found     kernel-3.10.25-gentoo

pluss all permission in /lib/modules/* have been recursively fixed.

the first to kernels and related dirs had a different set of
permissions than the third kernel (3.13.1-gentoo, but that
is all manually fixed now.

The permission are all consistent now (/lib/modules/*). I'm not sure how
they got wacked, as I have not done anything with modules yet. Nore
anything messing with those perms......

Obviously, from the strings command, the kernel(s) need fixing up a bit.
I only got them to a point, to get the openbox stuff setup. The audio
and usb automounting are all that is left to fix.... The points is the
kernels should be good enough to work with? I suspect grub2, as this
is my first forray into a bootable system with grub2........


What is stumping me is why  all three kernels boot, but the modules
only point to 3.10.25, even when boot either the second 
(kernel-3.13.0-gentoo-r1) kernel or the third (config-3.13.1-gentoo)
kernel.

I'm going to work on this and scratch a bit..... So any other suggestions
are welcome, although it'll be a few days until I post back. Got 
any strings options/scripts to only filter out the english readable
parts of mostly binary files?   Manual parsing is a drag......

What/where could the system be corrupted to only attempt to use those
modules from 3.10.25?


TIA,
James

Your kernels look fine actually. All kernel images have that large
collection of attention-grabbing strings, they seem to be regular
compiled in error messages. And the version numbers are fine.

I've just built 3.13.1-gentoo here and my perms come out right, so it's
not a bug that e.g. snuck into that one version's Makefile. And I know
of no way for a bootloader to influence what a kernel image thinks it's
version is or how to get to it's modules (it would be a huge attack
vector if a bootloader could do that)

I think I'm all out of ideas now, you might have to consult with some
kernel guys. Per my understanding, what you describe cannot happen, so
it's an odd one indeed.

I apologise if what I suggest has already been covered, but have you edited
