fatal: via_agp already in kernel

My system yells at me that via_agp is already in the kernel when it boots up.

I am using the most recent mm-sources and ati-drivers.

/etc/modules.autoload.d/kernel-2.6 is empty, and via_agp is compiled as a module. When I compile it directly into the kernel it gives the same message.

Here is someone else in the italian forum with the same problem: [Italian ][ google translated]

Any ideas on what else would be trying to load via_agp? This is before xdm even tries to start.

this is just a suggestion, i'm not sure...but maybe, just maybe you have compiled it both as in the kernel and after some other compile you have made it a module without cleaning the install...so you could make clean and then make dep && make bzImage modules modules_install and as in the Gentoo Installation guide cp the bzImage and system.map...
hope this helps

I think ive done that many times, but Ill double check just to make sure. While I am doing that, here is some more info:

The errors show up just after starting Hotplugging. However, in my /etc/hotplug/blacklist i have agpgart and via_agp so it shouldn't be loading them.

I'm off to compile my kernel..

yoshi- that is exactally what i did to recompile my kernel... kinda scary. heh. Anyways, that didn't fix it sadly. It's no big deal because everything works properly, just itd be nice to have no error message.

any other thoughts of what could be cause via_agp to load automatically twice?

But if you type lsmod, via_agp is correctly load or not?

That's just an annoying message from modprobe. Someone loaded that module -- it may have been hotplug, it may have been the kernel itself (if you enable automatic module loading), or it may have been someone else. Modprobe is just nagging at them to stop trying to load it. It's a harmless bug in something; I get oodles of them on my machine when hotplug starts. I would have looked in to what it is, but... it's harmless.

I type lsmod and it is in there. It must be automatic module loading in the kernel..

I thought that that option meant the kernel would listen to /etc/modules.autoload.d/kernel-2.6 but from the looking around I have done it seems to be just because the kernel feels like loading it, it will. I don't want to turn that off because it might come in handy for other things, but why is hotplug not listening to its blacklist? Must just be a bug. I'm on to other things I guess.
