#190943 — iwlwifi and symbols table

[Multipart message — attachments visible in raw view] — view raw

Hi
I just upgraded to Stretch. At boot I get a warning: " No 
symbols table" (actually it is in French: "pas de table des 
symboles"). Nevertheless everything works, except my 
access point: "modprobe iwlwifi.ko" can't find this 
module  in the kernel directory, but this module is there. 
I remember there was a problem with this module in 
Jessie, but I can't remember the solution. Please help.

modprobe doesn't use the extension, I think you can still do that with 
insmod, but modprobe uses a symbol list created by depmod.
There are pretty good man pages for these tools, but I'd guess your issue 
is probably firmware, there's a good wiki about the iwlwif did you check 
there?

 # modprobe iwlwifi.ko
modprobe: FATAL: Module iwlwifi.ko not found in directory 
/lib/modules/4.9.0-5-amd64

Good Luck!

One week later!! For an unknown (for me at least) reason, I lost grub! 
And as I am (or was) unable to use rescue boot, I reinstalled Stretch 
and doing that I lost my DNS  chrooted config and my iptables rules. As 
I am not  as good as I was, it took me a week to recover (even my 
health, physical and mental). But there still is one issue: at boot time 
there still is the message: "no symbols table", when all the kernel 
modules seem to be loaded, and modprobe doesn't seem to fail! Does 
someone understand? Sorry for my English.
