 Posted: Thu Nov 25, 2004 2:22 pm Post subject: Automatic module loading doesn't work |
 |
|
Hi,
I have the following in my kernel (v2.6.9-gentoo-r2):
| Code: | [*] Enable loadable module support
[*] Module unloading
[*] Forced module unloading
[ ] Module versioning support (EXPERIMENTAL)
[*] Automatic kernel module loading |
But modules won't load by themselves. I had to put everything I need into /etc/modules.autoload.d/kernel-2.6 .
The system is pure udev.
Now why the fsck do I have to do all of this by hand?
Note that loading the ALSA modules is working automatically at boot, but I have to do everything else (8139too, sis900, nvidia, psmouse, ide-cd). |

The help file states that some parts of the kernel can autoload. I cannot find the documentation on which parts.

| You've probable already tried this, but have you tried hotplugging the modules with hotplug (and then some with coldplug)? |

the automatic kernel module loading refers to the process of loading modules during system operation. you just emerge hotplug, plug your usb hard disk in, and usb-storage gets loaded for you

Hotplug version 20040923 is installed and in runlevel default. Coldplug would actually resolve a part of the problem (having to add modules that I want to have loaded at boot into /etc/modules.autoload.d/kernel-2.6), but it's not the same thing as automatic module loading in the kernel.
module-init-tools 3.0-r2 is installed, otherwise i also wouldn't be able to load the modules manually, wouldn't I? |
