Hi,

I've got the following modules in my modules.autoload/kernel-2.6 file:

Code:
speedstep-centrino      # cpufreq scaling
#cpufreq-ondemand       # ondemand cpufreq scaling governor - builtin
#coda                   # davfs - seems that it load automatically by now
softdog                 # hangcheck
ndiswrapper             # wlan wrapper
#cdemu                  # cd-emulation cue/bin - sucks
nvidia                  # because udev is too slow

Since a few weeks, all of those modules fail to load upon bootup:

Quote:
Loading module speedstep_centrino
Failed to load speedstep_centrino
[..]
Loading module ndiswrapper
Failed to load ndiswrapper
Loading module nvidia
Failed to load nvidia


Nevertheless, ndiswrapper and nvidia are loaded afterwards...

Quote:
~ $ lsmod
Module Size Used by
ndiswrapper 133620 0
[...]
nvidia 3916156 24
intel_agp 20252 1
agpgart 28776 2 nvidia,intel_agp


but neither softdog nor speedstep are. There's nothing spectacular in dmesg either:

Quote:
speedstep_centrino: Unknown parameter `#'
softdog: Unknown parameter `#'
ndiswrapper: Unknown parameter `#'
Linux agpgart interface v0.100 (c) Dave Jones
nvidia: module license 'NVIDIA' taints kernel.
nvidia: Unknown parameter `#'


I don't give anything about those '#', maybe I should though?
Loading the modules by hand works flawlessly. A simple modprobe does the job.

thanks for any advice!

kwisatz_haderais,

Modprobe will treat your comments as parameters to be passed to the module at load time.
Put them on a line on their own.
