What I have now is a set of instructions for building packages with
modass[1] which I've used for compat-wireless and peak's canbus
driver. I would like to (at some point) learn to use dkms, especially
if it'll make my job easier. I also welcome someone [a mentor] to
work with on this as my packa

Hi,
I have a problem where modprobe hangs when trying to load the amd64_agp module.
mkinitramfs calls modprobe when adding things to initramfs. While I
acknowledge that is not a bug in mkinitramfs, I think I should be able to use
the blacklist (or some equivalent mechanism) to prevent this fr
Sorry for sending so many messages to the bug report. Below is the environment
passed to modprobe. You can see MODPROBE_OPTIONS is not among it. (Actually,
MODPROBE_OPTIONS is not in the environment of any process on the system.)
modprobe --set-version=2.6.32-trunk-686 --ignore-install --show
i just checked the modprobe manpage, so i see that modprobe should be honouring
the MODPROBE_OPTIONS. but i can tell you that on my system it's not. will
report more info when i have it.

That's very strange, then. As you can see from the pstree in bug #570321,
modprobe is not being called with -qb, despite it being in
/usr/share/initramfs-tools/init .
I can't find a reference to $MODPROBE_OPTIONS anywhere in
/usr/share/initramfs-tools/ nor /usr/sbin/mkini

Hi,
Is it possible to update mkinitramfs to call modprobe with --use-blacklist?
This would allow a workaround for bug #570321, at the very least.
Thanks,
Jayen

update-initramfs tries to run elilo, as it did for Matthias, even though it
is disabled.
Why do I have elilo installed and disabled, you may ask. It is recommended
by the di-netboot-assistant package, which says:

Sorry for not replying sooner, somehow missed your email. It seems to have
reappeared. I'm just going to blacklist the amd64_agp module for now. Here's

I think it's the wireless drivers, but they've worked on 2.6.24 and
earlier. Here's a list of the modules I've tried, that I built with
module-assistant:
madwifi-modules-2.6.18-4-amd64_0.9.3-2+2.6.18.dfsg.1-12_amd64.deb
madwifi-modules-2.6.21-2-amd64_0.9.3-3+2.6.21-10.00.Custom_amd64.deb
