Package: module-init-tools
Version: 3.3-pre11-1
Severity: wishlist
I want to blacklist snd-ali5451 to avoid udev loading it. This should
work:
[EMAIL PROTECTED]:/etc/modprobe.d>cat local
# Mostly broken on this laptop, so use external sound instead.
install snd-ali5451 /bin/true
But it doesn't:
[EMAIL PROTECTED]:/etc/modprobe.d>modprobe --use-blacklist -v snd-ali5451
install /sbin/modprobe --ignore-install snd-ali5451 &&
/lib/alsa/modprobe-post-install snd-ali5451
Then I notice this:
[EMAIL PROTECTED]:/etc/modprobe.d>modprobe -c |grep ali5451
install snd-ali5451 /bin/true
install snd-ali5451 /sbin/modprobe --ignore-install snd-ali5451 $CMDLINE_OPTS
&& /lib/alsa/modprobe-post-install snd-ali5451
alias pci:v000010B9d00005451sv*sd*bc*sc*i* snd_ali5451
The line from /etc/modprobe.d/alsa-base is overriding my line. Ok, maybe it
needs to come before alsa-base?
[EMAIL PROTECTED]:/etc/modprobe.d>mv local aaaa
[EMAIL PROTECTED]:/etc/modprobe.d>modprobe -c |grep ali5451
install snd-ali5451 /bin/true
install snd-ali5451 /sbin/modprobe --ignore-install snd-ali5451 $CMDLINE_OPTS
&& /lib/alsa/modprobe-post-install snd-ali5451
alias pci:v000010B9d00005451sv*sd*bc*sc*i* snd_ali5451
Argh, reordering doesn't help? Based on strace, modprobe reads the files
in readdir order. This leaves me having to edit this large alsa file and keep
my local changes merged into it, which sucks.
Could modprobe sort the file list and read them in order please?

See #397765.
Reasonable complaint, but nobody who cares enough about it has sent a
patch yet.
