Gentoo wants to load a non existing module

smeets_marc

Recently I upgraded from onboard audio to a Sounblaster Live!

I rebuilded my kernel(2.4.20) without the es1371 module and with the emu10k1 module.

In the file /etc/modules.autoload I tell gentoo to load several modules. And that works. But, some how gentoo still wants to load the module es1371 during startup. That fails becouse the module doenst exist anymore (ofcourse).

So my question is, which file is telling gentoo to still load the es1371 module?

Another funny thing is that in /lib/modules/2.4.20/kernel/driver/sound the module ac97_coded is still there. Why?

Try grepping for the offending module name in /etc/modules.d.

nope. nothing.

during boot time the init proces is trying to load it just before i can login. Because it fails init tells me it cant start local. The next step is login.

Is something still listed in /etc/modules.autoload?

Have you started hotplug? I think hotplug loaded my onboard sound card via82cxxx module while it wasn't in /etc/modules.autoload.

/etc/modules.autoload works fine. The problem was local.start. Somehow the module was there so gentoo tries to load it. How it comes there? i don't know.
Perhaps (most likely) I have dropped it there. I know it isn't the right location, but hey don't blame me. I really don't understand that whole sysv init style. I'm still waiting for a howto to convert my gentoo sysv box to a gentoo bsd init style box.

Anyway, thanks you guys for helping me out.
