[bug#33329] [PATCH] gnu: Deprecate linux-module shpchp and tell user to remove it.

[swedebugia]

Hi

Ricardo, you mentioned that this needs to be fixed.

I made a patch to fix this. I did not test the patch as I have no idea how to do that.

I have not run the indent script on it.

Hi,

    https://github.com/lihebi/dothebi/blob/master/config.scm

I see you use the “shpchp” kernel module. This no longer exists in the
latest version of the kernel Linux. That’s what this really bad error
message tries to tell you:

Backtrace:

ERROR: In procedure open-file:
Wrong type (expecting string): #f
builder for `/gnu/store/0ahsvp7wx52zzh1rywbdbq78llcwb7id-linux-modules.drv' failed with exit code 1

(I only know this because I had the same problem.) Obviously, this
error message should be changed.

As a workaround you could switch to the LTS kernel where that module
still exists.
