thanks
I have discovered that this was a case of user error: I also had
an "install" declaration for the module in question.
If one has, e.g.:
alias allah god
options allah omnipotent=yes
install god modprobe --ignore-install god ; update-deities
and then does:
modprobe allah
then modprobe converts this as follows:
modprobe allah
modprobe allah omnipotent=yes # add options
modprobe god omnipotent=yes # apply alias
modprobe --ignore-install god ; update-deities # apply "install"
The "omnipotent=yes" option string simply gets dropped.
On the other hand, if one has:
alias allah god
options god omnipotent=yes
install god modprobe --ignore-install god ; update-deities
and then does:
modprobe allah
then modprobe converts this as follows:
modprobe allah
modprobe god # apply alias
modprobe --ignore-install god ; update-deities # apply "install"
modprobe god omnipotent=yes ; update-deities # add options
This bug report can be considered a wish that in an "install" script
there be some way of inserting the module options -- e.g., using
sh style variable names '$1', '$2', '$*':
install god modprobe --ignore-install god $* ; start-devil
