 Posted: Tue Jul 19, 2022 11:16 pm Post subject: [SOLVED] modprobe not loading config even when set as module |
 |
|
Greetings,
I'm trying to alter the default behavior of my Apple driver based keyboard (Royal Kludge RK61) Fn keys to its traditional functions since the defaults are set as XF86's.
In /etc/modprobe.d I have a config file with the code below that has -rw-r--r-- permission:
| Code: | | options hid_apple fnmode=2 |
The problem is its not loaded at boot. Here's my Kernel config where HID_APPLE is a module.
Explicitly loading the module works tho...
Default:
| Code: | KeyRelease event, serial 32, synthetic NO, window 0x1000001,
root 0x567, subw 0x0, time 6857288, (1053,779), root:(1054,799),
state 0x40, keycode 232 (keysym 0x1008ff03, XF86MonBrightnessDown), same_screen YES,
XLookupString gives 0 bytes:
XFilterEvent returns: False
|
After running modprobe -r hid_apple; modprobe hid_apple:
| Code: | KeyRelease event, serial 32, synthetic NO, window 0xe00001,
root 0x567, subw 0x0, time 7023805, (1054,614), root:(1055,634),
state 0x40, keycode 67 (keysym 0xffbe, F1), same_screen YES,
XLookupString gives 0 bytes:
XFilterEvent returns: False |
NOTE: I'm aware of other solutions such as: (1) a script that runs at boot (local.d, sysctl, and the likes), (2) command line (kernel, and grub), but what I primarily want to know is why modprobe is not loading the set config of hid_apple at boot.

One last bit missing.. do you have an initramfs to start the system? If yes, how is it created? |

AFAIR, files in modprobe.d must have .conf as their filename extension.

I do have it as that.

It is very likely dracut is loading the module thus not considering the modprobe.d file. Does lsinitrd command on the resulting initramfs show your modprobe file included? Or any modprobe file included?
Also, it is possible to check the contents of a Dracut initramfs compressed file with the -f switch.
A brief search of the dracut modules seems to indicate that the --hostonly option is required to include /etc/modprobe.d files for loading.
Alternatively, using rd.driver.blacklist=hid-apple on the kernel command-line or omit_drivers+=" hid-apple " in the dracut.conf before building will have dracut skip loading it. |

Looks like this did the trick! Thank you very much!

Technically this is not relevant to the topic, so my apologies...
Setting the --hostonly flag solved the modprobe issue, but now I'm getting a Permission denied message at boot before OpenRC:
| Code: | | //lib/dracut/hooks/pre-mount/10-resume.sh: line 17: /sys/power/resume: Permission denied |
This only happens when I pass the mentioned flag when generating the initramfs. Omitting it doesn't show the message. |
