no devices after apt-get upgrade
hi list!
i am looking after an opengroupware server on sarge.
(via ssh)
i run raid1 on hdb2 hdd2, mounting md0 on /var
runs fine until apt-get upgrade last saturday.
i didnt upgrade for about 2 months and i wanted
the security-patches
(postgresql/cyrus/...)
i was in a hurry (bad move, i know) and was not
expecting any trouble (since deb-updates never
caused any!)
i guess i mistyped the config-file option for
postgresql and so i got a new pg_hba.conf.
thus the users couldn't login this morning
to opengroupware.
their admin-user inhouse just rebooted! (2nd
bad move!)
after reboot he got into runlevel 1, because
the raid could not be found. (alleged fsck problems,
but we couldnt detect any, since it was caused by
the raid)
and the eth0 card wasn't found either.
reason:
the modprobe.d files didn't contain the
alias for eth0, (and ide_cd ...) couldnt be
loaded either!
after manually writing a modprobe.conf (shouldnt
need or do it, but i had to get the thing on the
net!)
i could start networking and so it is now!
questions:
did anyone have similar problems?
how/why can i adjust modprobe.d?
what/where is the new programm replacing
update-modules?
how can i assure, that the modprobe.conf
doesnt get changed again?
and it all boils down to:
where did i make the dumbass move in this?
thanx a lot
ds
