[Pkg-oss4-maintainers] Bug#564202: oss4-dkms: oss4-base init-script fails to load modules on kernel-update

[Patric Schenke]

Package: oss4-dkms
Version: 4.2-build2002-1
Severity: grave
Justification: renders package unusable

This bug might be filed in the wrong place. If it belongs to oss4-base or any other package instead, I apologize and request a capable person to move it there.

Upon updating my 2.6.32-kernel through the new provided packages, oss4 fails to start because it cannot load the modules.

it reports:
FATAL: Error inserting osscore (/lib/modules/2.6.32-trunk-amd64/updates/dkms/osscore.ko): Invalid module format

the file in question is:
/lib/modules/2.6.32-trunk-amd64/updates/dkms/osscore.ko: ELF 64-bit LSB relocatable, x86-64, version 1 (SYSV), not stripped

Running dkms uninstall/install on -m oss4 -v 4.2-build2002 doesn't change this behaviour. One has to completely uninstall, remove (I used --all), add, build and install the modules to fix the issue.

On a side-note, the oss4-base init-script is called before the dkms-init-script is called. Maybe this should be changed.
