(i asked about this earlier on the newbies list, but after poking around a bit more, i thought i'd ask here.)
according to Documentation/debugging-modules.txt: The correct way of debugging module problems is something like this: echo '#! /bin/sh' > /tmp/modprobe echo 'echo "$@" >> /tmp/modprobe.log' >> /tmp/modprobe echo 'exec /sbin/modprobe "$@"' >> /tmp/modprobe chmod a+x /tmp/modprobe echo /tmp/modprobe > /proc/sys/kernel/modprobe i've tried that and i don't see that it does anything whatsoever. i ran modprobe under "strace" and it doesn't appear to make any effort to check /proc/sys/kernel/modprobe. i even downloaded the source to the module-init-tools package and scanned the source and ... nothing. so what's up with that? rday ======================================================================== Robert P.
