1. With kernel 2.5.53 and module-init-tools-0.9.6, "modprobe tulip" fails and goes into an infinite CPU-consuming loop. The problem appears to be related to the dependency from tulip to crc32. If I manually modprobe crc32 before modprobe tulip, it works. If crc32 isn't loaded, modprobe tulip first loads crc32 and then loops. module-init-tools-0.9.5 did not have this problem. 2. The implementation of old-style MODULE_PARMs with type "1-16s" is broken. Instead of splicing the parameter at the commas and storing pointers to the substrings in consecutive array elements, the whole string is stored in the array instead. Consider parport_pc.c, which contains (simplified): static const char *irq[16]; MODULE_PARM(irq, "1-16s"); "modprobe parport_pc irq=007" should store a pointer to "007" in irq[0], but instead (unsigned int)irq[0] == 0x00373030, the ASCII representation of "007" in little-endian. (Kernel 2.5.53 on x86, with module-init-tools-0.9.[56].) /Mikael - To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-kernel" in the body of a message to majordomo@vger.kernel.org More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html Please read the FAQ at http://www.tux.org/lkml/ | |||||||||
