CentOS 6.9 (kernel-2.6.32-696.30.1.el6.x86_64) / depmod issue about lis-next HOT 5 OPEN

Hello @johanburati
To make sure I got the steps right - so with LIS 4.2.5-2 you do have network connectivity after install & reboot.
The problem appears when after that you run #depmod -a and reboot, which breaks at least hv_netvsc, is that right?

Hello @chvalean,

After upgrading to LIS 4.2.5-2 "modinfo hv_vmbus" is listing 4.2.5.2 version. But if we run depmod -a and then check version again using "modinfo hv_vmbus" it points to old 3.1 version.

We need to create symbolic link as ln -s /opt/files/hyperv.conf /etc/depmod.d/hyperv.conf to make the latest version persistent after running "depmod -a".

Any progress on this ?

I just deployed a fresh CentOS 6.9 VM (OpenLogic:CentOS:6.9:latest) and installed the LIS driver and still having the same issue.

I think it is just a matter of removing the rm -rf /etc/depmod.d/hyperv.conf line in the microsoft-hyper-v-4.2.5.3-20180717.x86_64.rpm package install script (file LISISO/CentOS69/microsoft-hyper-v-4.2.5.3-20180717.x86_64.rpm in the in the lis-rpms-4.2.5-2.tar.gz archive).

Thanks i see the issue , we are discussing internally the best way to address this, since removing line

rm -rf /etc/depmod.d/hyperv.conf
has other effect related to kernel upgrade.

This issue is addressed in 4.3.2 version.
