    SubjectRe: modald - NEW module autoloader
    After applying the patch to the kernel, compiling and installing
    modutils-970317m, killing kerneld (which is started by my init scripts),
    doing "depmod -a" and running modald as root, I observed the following:

    * mount /dev/fd0 /fd0 outputs "Continued" (I'm using mount 2.6b) and the
    floppy module is not loaded

    * an strace of modald's process while doing this shows:

    SYS_167(0, 0x9, 0xbffff940, 0x100, 0xbffff93c) = 0
    fork() = 18834
    wait4(-1, NULL, 0, NULL) = 18834
    --- SIGCHLD (Child exited) ---
    kill(18833, SIGCONT) = 0
    SYS_167(0, 0x9, 0xbffff940, 0x100, 0xbffff93c) = 0
    fork() = 18835
    wait4(-1, NULL, 0, NULL) = 18835
    --- SIGCHLD (Child exited) ---
    kill(18833, SIGCONT) = 0
    SYS_167(0, 0x9, 0xbffff940, 0x100, 0xbffff93c

    * when I run an audio program, the sound module is not loaded--in fact, no
    modules seem to be loaded at all

    * syslogd records these new errors:

    Mar 26 13:25:28 topside modprobe: can't locate module block-major-2
    Mar 26 13:25:44 topside last message repeated 3 times
    Mar 26 13:27:10 topside modprobe: can't locate module char-major-14
    Mar 26 13:34:23 topside modprobe: can't locate module block-major-2
    Mar 26 13:34:23 topside modprobe: can't locate module block-major-2
    Mar 26 13:39:32 topside modprobe: can't locate module char-major-14
    Mar 26 13:39:36 topside modprobe: can't locate module char-major-14

    * if I start modald more than once, the later invocations start heating up
    the CPU with:

    SYS_167(0, 0x9, 0xbffff940, 0x100, 0xbffff93c) = -1 EBUSY (Device or
    resource busy)

    * the man page included is for bdflush.
