 Posted: Sat Nov 19, 2011 3:43 pm Post subject: udev doesn't autoload modules |
 |
|
Hi,
I just update my kernel to 3.0.6-gentoo, putting as usual my modules on /etc/conf.d/modules (here an example with few modules)
| Code: |
# You should consult your kernel documentation and configuration
# for a list of modules and their options.
modules_2_6="vboxnetflt"
modules_2_6="vboxpci"
modules_2_6="vboxdrv"
modules_2_6="vboxnetadp"
|
but when I boot, udev says "Autoloaded modules 0", and doing lsmod I don't see my cited modules.
What is happening? Why udev cannot load modules from /etc/conf.d/modules?
Thank you very much for any kind of help!
Cheers |

If you have only one kernel, use:
modules="module1 module2 module3",
if not, use:
modules_3_0="module1 module2 module3", or
modules_3_0_6="module1 module2 module3", or
modules_3_0_6_gentoo="module1 module2 module3". |

| udev autoload itself some modules base on hardware detection, but i think it's openrc task to load the modules you've put in /etc/conf.d/modules |

I was unaware of your first syntax. I find the second syntax a bit of a pain, because I've discovered by trial and error that there is no "modules_3=" that will work. However I see no reason why I can't use your first syntax instead.
I still keep a 2.6.3x kernel around on all of my systems, because last I heard, python wouldn't emerge on 3.x kernels. Does anyone know if that has changed, if that little problem is fixed? Are there any reasons to keep a 2.6.3x kernel around? (That is, other than my dedicated mythfrontend, which I still haven't managed to find time to get moved to devinput yet.)
