During startup, the script sets up the binary used to dynamically load modules stored at "/proc/sys/kernel/modprobe". The initscript looks for "/proc/ksyms" (if my memory servers me well), but since it doesn't exist in 2.5 kernels, the binary used is "/sbin/true" instead. This, eventually, will keep modules from working. RedHat users will have to patch the "/etc/rc.sysinit" script to set "/proc/sys/kernel/modprobe" to "/sbin/modprobe", even when "/proc/ksyms" doesn't exist. I can't attach a patch. All my RH9 boxes are manually patched and can't get access to the original "/etc/rc.sysinit" script :-( - 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/ | ||||||||||||
