Subjectide modules in 2.1.91
Date29 Mar 1998 12:48:33 +0200
Hello

My hadr drives are all SCSI, but I still have an old IDE-CDROM in my
box. So I compiled all the IDE support as modules to save some
memory. I don't know if I did something wrong, or the dependencies are
not quite what they should be, but autoloading the ide-cd module
doesn't work as it should IMHO.

I added this to /etc/conf.modules:

alias block-major-3  ide-disk
alias block-major-22 ide-cd

Couldn't test ide-disk, as I don't have and IDE drives anymore, but
ide-cd fails to load if ide-probe is not loaded first. I got around
this by loading ide-probe in the bootup scripts (which autoloads
ide-mod too) and now it works fine. I'm just wondering what's the
right way to do it automatically. ide-cd would autoload ide-mod, but
fail to initialise if ide-probe was not loaded.

Loading ide-proc also fails with:

/lib/modules/2.1.91/block/ide-proc.o: couldn't find the kernel version
the module was compiled for
