 Posted: Mon Jul 25, 2005 1:19 pm Post subject: /etc/modprobe.conf is cleared by reboot |
 |
|
Hi.
Since one day, I've found that the modules like ide-cd are not loaded and I've been getting the message 'could not detect custom ALSA settings' too.
And finally I discovered that /etc/modprobe.conf is reset to following state every time I reboot the system.
| Code: | ### This file is automatically generated by modules-update
#
# Please do not edit this file directly. If you want to change or add
# anything please take a look at /etc/modules.conf and read
# the manpage for modules-update.
#
(EOF) |
When I do 'modules-update', the file modprobe.conf is correctly made. But of course it doesn't do anything because the file is reset if I reboot. (I think the resetting happens before or while the boot services are starting)
Please help!

Hi,
sounds weird 
maybe a list of the services that get started would be helpful...
cheers, r.

These are the services that get started.
| Code: | # rc-update -s | egrep '(boot)|(default)'
acpid | default
alsasound | boot
apache2 | default
bootmisc | boot
checkfs | boot
checkroot | boot
clock | boot
consolefont | boot
cupsd | default
domainname | default
esound | default
hald | default
hostname | boot
hotplug | default

Now I'm trying to find out when exactly the reset happens... |

I've just found when the file modprobe.conf is reset.
(I let the init scripts make backups of modprobe.conf overal to discover it  )
| Code: | <in /etc/init.d/modules>
<in start()>
if [ -z "${CDBOOT}" ] && touch /etc/modules.conf 2> /dev/null
then
ebegin "Calculating module dependencies"
[color=red]/sbin/modules-update &>/dev/null[/color]
eend $? "Failed to calculate module dependencies"
fi |
While this /etc/init.d/modules is being executed at boot, the red command resets the file.
So if I delete the lines that I quoted from the init script, modprobe.conf is not reset any more.
But I don't know if I can call this a solution, and why modules-update clears modprobe.conf while boot although it works well (makes correct modprobe.conf) after boot.
Anyone have an idea why my modules-update behaves so strange? |
