Package: sl-modem-daemon Version: 2.9.9d+e-pre2-7 Severity: normal
Since a couple of weeks initramfs-tools started to add slamr.ko in the initrd for some reason; even if the module ungrab-winmodem.ko was _not_ copied, as the slamr module does not indicate any dependence, the slamr module was loaded during the initrd phase. In /etc/init.d/sl-modem-daemon, line 76, the exit status of modprobe slamr is evaluated in order to check the availability of the slamr module, but modprobe does not return an exit status != 0 when the requested module was already loaded: this way the script can't assure that the module was loaded in a sane way. A quick-and-dirty way to solve this issue could be to unload and reload the module: modprobe will care the correct initialization (/etc/modprobe.d/sl-modem-daemon.modutils) and the daemon won't die anymore. There are also 2 other ways to solve: 1. adding to the slamr module a dependence to ungrab-winmodem; 2. adding a hook to initramfs-tools which _deletes_ the slamr module in case it was copied to initrd, which is the solution I'm using now.
