well, there's nothing that can't be forced, however the segfaults at
shutdown are a problem
here's the strange tale (watch wrap) :
rc.modules has this:
if modprobe -V 2> /dev/null | head -n 1 | grep -q module-init-tools;
then
MODULES=/etc/modprobe.preload
else
MODULES=/etc/modules
fi
now, I was desperately looking for a cause of the failed shutdown.
Forcing modules by comments and shutdown went through:
#if modprobe -V 2> /dev/null | head -n 1 | grep -q module-init-tools;
then
# MODULES=/etc/modprobe.preload
#else
MODULES=/etc/modules
#fi
this is weird. The line exits 1 as it should. Head and grep shouldn't
break anything. So what about the modprobe? Testing this:
modprobe -V
#if modprobe -V 2> /dev/null | head -n 1 | grep -q module-init-tools;
then
# MODULES=/etc/modprobe.preload
#else
MODULES=/etc/modules
#fi
sends the kernel to nirvana at shutdown. Don't ask me how this can be...
