Hello,

when I use the -d option to modprobe in order to load modules
from a non-default directory, it is searched only for the first
module.

For the modules.dep.bin and all modules required by the given
modules, it *prepends* the -d path to the default paths,
resulting e.g. in /out/of/tree/modules//lib/modules/`uname -r`/...
I would rather expect it to *replace* the default path with it,
e.g. when I give 
# modprobe -d /out/of/tree/modules/ mymodule
it should search /out/of/tree/modules/ for modules.dep.bin, and
its subdirectories for the dependand modules, i.e. prefix the
content of modules.dep with /out/of/tree/modules/ (just as it
would use /lib/modules/`uname -r`/ without any options)

Bye,

Joerg
