Package: module-init-tools Version: 3.4-1 Severity: normal Tags: patch
The module-init-script in init.d loads the modules listed in /etc/modules. Unfortunatly this does not work if the module is blacklisted as the environment var MODPROBE_OPTIONS includes "-b" during bootup (set via init from the initramfs). This is a problem if you want to prevent udev from loading specific modules (for example a raid controller), and load it in a user defined order later. -- System Information: Debian Release: lenny/sid APT prefers testing APT policy: (500, 'testing') Architecture: amd64 (x86_64) Kernel: Linux 2.6.26-1-amd64 (SMP w/2 CPU cores) Locale: LANG=en_US.UTF-8, LC_CTYPE=en_US.UTF-8 (charmap=UTF-8) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/bash Versions of packages module-init-tools depends on: ii libc6 2.7-16 GNU C Library: Shared libraries ii lsb-base 3.2-20 Linux Standard Base 3.2 init scrip module-init-tools recommends no packages. module-init-tools suggests no packages. -- no debconf information
