 Posted: Mon May 10, 2004 11:25 pm Post subject: removing entries from modules.conf |
 |
|
Hi All,
I started with Gentoo this weekend. Everything is now nearly perfect, but I think I have some rubbish left behind in modules.conf. Everything works fine, but when the machine boots, it complains about not being able to load the 'rivafb', 'btaudio' and 'emu10k1' modules.
A copy of my current modules.conf is here: http://barnesy.org/brokenmodulesconf.txt. I haven't been able to work out how to use modules-update to remove entries from it. I can see that I need to get rid of NVdriver, but I can't tell if anything else is wrong.
I also have a problem that occasionally, the machine freezes when it gets to '* unloading modules' during shutdown. Any ideas?
Thanks in advance! |

| The complaints you are getting about modules not loading are probably coming from hotplug. Try adding them to /etc/hotplug/blacklist. To remove stuff from modules.conf just modify or delete the corresponding file from /etc/modules.d and run update-modules. |

Thanks a lot, that helped. It was a problem with hotplugging - now I know to look for it, I can see the errors were appearing immediately after the 'starting PCI hotplugging' line appeared.
And thanks for making the penny drop on the update-modules part. I didn't need it for this, but I understnad the principle of it now. Wheee, just about everything is how I want it now! |
