initramfs exports MODPROBE_OPTIONS=-qb in /init. This puts it into the environment of the entire system: khyber:~# tr '\0' '\n' </proc/1/environ | grep MODPROBE_OPTIONS MODPROBE_OPTIONS=-qb Thanks to Tzafrir Cohen for figuring this out. This is also related to #505440, which I recorded as a block. As a result of this "environment leak", nothing can modprobe blacklisted modules. acpid works around it by unsetting MODPROBE_OPTIONS, but e.g. the watchdog package doesn't do that yet (and *should not*). If a module is listed in /etc/modprobe.d/blacklist, then it's not supposed to be autoloaded by udev, but since MODPROBE_OPTIONS includes -b, the init.d scripts also respect the blacklist. khyber:~# grep w83627hf_wdt /etc/modprobe.d/blacklist /etc/default/watchdog /etc/modprobe.d/blacklist:blacklist w83627hf_wdt /etc/default/watchdog:watchdog_module="w83627hf_wdt" Running /etc/init.d/watchdog start: [...] + . /etc/default/watchdog ++ run_watchdog=1 ++ watchdog_module=w83627hf_wdt + NAME=watchdog + DAEMON=/usr/sbin/watchdog + case "$1" in + '[' 1 = 1 ']' + '[' w83627hf_wdt '!=' none ']' + /sbin/modprobe w83627hf_wdt WARNING: Not loading blacklisted module w83627hf_wdt -- .''`. martin f. krafft <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> : :' : proud Debian developer, author, administrator, and user `. `'` http://people.debian.org/~madduck - http://debiansystem.info `- Debian - when you have better things to do than fixing systems
