 Posted: Sun Oct 31, 2004 12:05 am Post subject: Pass module arguments when statically compiled? [SOLVED] |
 |
|
How do I pass in what would normally be module parameters, if the module is compiled into the kernel?
I'm trying to get LIRC working with my SB Live! with the IR-enabled LiveDrive. According to this post I need to pass 'enable_ir=1' to the ALSA EMU10K1 module. However, I've compiled ALSA and the EMU module statically into my kernel. How do I pass in the argument, then?

Can you just pass the parameter to the kernel like any other kernel paramter? Or does this not work?

I thought boot arguments were to the kernel, like root=xx video=xx ether=xx and etc. Perhaps the only way to go about your problem is compiling them as modules? Unless there's another way, then I would really want to know too!
Then I'd compile all my modules statically  |

From /usr/src/linux/Documentation/kernel-parameters.txt:
| Code: | Module parameters for loadable modules are specified only as the
parameter name with optional '=' and value as appropriate, such as:
modprobe usbcore blinkenlights=1
Module parameters for modules that are built into the kernel image
are specified on the kernel command line with the module name plus
'.' plus parameter name, with '=' and value if appropriate, such as:
usbcore.blinkenlights=1
|
Assume it works but I've never tried it. |

I don't know if it made my IR port work (I found another solution that doesn't involve lirc*), but the knowledge should come in handy in the future...
*use livetools:
> emerge livetools
> liveird
Then enable the XMMS plugin that the emerge installed, and you're good to go. |
