 Posted: Fri Nov 12, 2004 6:03 pm Post subject: On-demand loading ide-cd module with udev? |
 |
|
I switched to pure udev system and everything seems to work OK except my cdrom devices. They do not exist until ide-cd module is loaded. Sure, I can autoload this module at boot, but then I can just as well compile it into kernel. Is there something I can do (edit modules.conf etc.) to get the ide-cd module loaded and have device created when I mount cd?
ALso, I would be curious to know why is this autoloading not working with udev: Is it not implemented yet, or is it not implemented for reason etc.
Thanks. |

Isn't this a kernel feature? It's should be in Loadable module support ---> Automatic kernel module loading...

It would seem that it is kernel feature, but autoloading worked with devfs, but it does not work after I switched to pure udev (and yes, I have "Automatic kernel module loading" selected in my kernel config).
Whenever I do I now get error message saying that "device /dev/cdroms/cdrom0 does not exist". But after manually loading cd-ide module, device gets created and mounting works.
Because it used to work with devfs, it seems that udev breaks (or does not provide) something that is necessary for ide-cd autoloading, but I am not sure what. |
