I am using a recent Linux-2.6 (BK) with module-init-tools 0.9.15-pre3. I cannot autoload some modules in spite of (what I think) correct configuration. When I try to access /dev/nst0, I'd like the st module to be loaded. $ grep char-major-9\ /etc/modprobe.conf alias char-major-9 st $ mt -f /dev/nst0 status mt: No such device. Cannot open '/dev/nst0'. dmesg reports "request_module: failed /sbin/modprobe -s -- char-major-9-128. error = -1" Changing the alias to char-major-9-* or char-major-9* does not help. The st module is available, a manual modprobe st loads it fine. This worked with older post-2.6.0-test9 BK kernels with 0.9.15-pre2 module-init-tools. The other issue I'm having is that apparently the kernel does not even try to autoload my "scanner" module. I have "alias char-major-180-48 scanner" in modprobe.conf, /dev/usb/scanner0 which is a character special wit 180,48 is opened, but the module is not loaded. This has always been the case for 2.6.0-test9 for me. Did I do something wrong? Is there a kernel or module-init-tools problem? -- Matthias Andree Encrypt your mail: my GnuPG key ID is 0x052E7D95 - 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/ | ||||||||||||
