Changing "modprobe -q" to -"succeed" in this case is hacky and breaks some setups, and also we -want to know if it failed for the fallback code for old aliases in -fs/char_dev.c, for example. - -In the past a debugging message which would fill people's logs was -emitted. This debugging message has been removed. The correct way -of debugging module problems is something like this: - -echo '#! /bin/sh' > /tmp/modprobe -echo 'echo "$@" >> /tmp/modprobe.log' >> /tmp/modprobe -echo 'exec /sbin/modprobe "$@"' >> /tmp/modprobe -chmod a+x /tmp/modprobe -echo /tmp/modprobe > /proc/sys/kernel/modprobe - -Note that the above applies only when the *kernel* is requesting -that the module be loaded -- it won't have any effect if that module -is being loaded explicitly using "modprobe" from userspace. |
