The following provides, and removes, the module automagically.
The key is to match the add udev action (?):

\ RUN+=/sbin/modprobe visor
SUBSYSTEMS==usb, ACTION==remove, \

Got all that useful info courtesy of the following web-page, and I used
it verbatim.

Bonus! the page talks about using Debian :-)
All of this would be a whole lot easier if there was some sort of trace
that tells you what udev is doing, verbosely. udevadm monitor isn't
that useful.

auto module loading with udev ?
Hi, Palm TX support is busted in that the visor module is never loaded automagically, and it takes more googling than you would think to find out that you need the visor module. so I'd like to set up udev to do the right thing, which I have done for other devices. However I have not had to load modules as part of the set-up. Looks as though I need to maybe brute force it with PROGRAM to do a modprobe ? That seems way to klunky for a problem that had to be solved at the time udev was invented. The other possibilty is using RUN, which what the rules in /lib/udev seem to do. suggestions ?

Check the current bug reports against the installer (I think it is a pseudo-package). If it is not already reported, consider filing a detailed bug report. What they likely want to know is: - How exactly you installed (e.g., what options you chose, etc) - What config changes you made after install - What version of the d-i (e.g., release number or dailiy build) - Exact error messages you receive on boot I did submit an installation report which described all the things which didn't work during or immediately after the install. But that was before I had worried about any of the benign problems that don't seem to do any harm, but are redundent or innefective. I'll send in another report. There are a couple of other ugly error message during boot which it would be nice to get cleaned up, like a bunch of: skipping already loaded module messages, and other things which flash by to fast to see. Does anyone know if there is a way to capture all of the console messages that are displayed during boot? Dmesg is only a subset, and I can't see anything else in /var/log. I don't really want to compile a kernel with a serial console because then it would no longer be the unmodified results of the install that I would be looking at. And more importantly, the only serial port that I have is a USB serial adapter, and I am not sure that a serial console could use that Regards, DigbyT -- Digby R. S.

Question about module loading from floppy

Module loading problem with 2.6.0 kernel
Hi! I've installed a 2.6.0 kernel image on my notebook which runs Debian GNU/Linux unstable. I configured the kernel in a very modular way, i.e. everything not necessary for booting is built as a module and not statically compiled into the kernel. I have installed the new modules-init-tools as well and I have added aliases to the /etc/modprobe.d/ directory and run update-modules afterwards, so that /etc/modprobe.conf reflects my setup (I think). Now, quite some modules get automatically loaded, but some don't. E.g. the sound modules got automatically loaded with the 2.4 kernel when I loaded xmms or xine. With the 2.6 kernel it doesn't. However, if I do # modprobe sound-slot-0 then it works as well. So, this proves that the alias is correctly set up. The same applies to the ethernet card module: If I load it by hand, it works, but it doesn't get automatically loaded though the alias to eth0 is correctly set up. What am I missing?

module loading errors
Hello, I recently compiled my own 2.4.18 kernel and all goes well; However, I get module errors because some modules were not compiled (instead functionality was compiled in the kernel) Which log file do I have to check for the module names which can't load?

You should probably see the output in /var/log/syslog and/or /var/log/messages. See if the modules appear in /etc/modules, thats where modules you want to start on startup appear.

Kernel versions and module loading
Hi, I have a woody laptop and upgraded the kernel to 2.4.18. The new kernel uses the yenta_socket and tulip for the ethernet card whereas with the 2.2.x kernel used the tulip_cb driver. Now if I try to boot the old kernel the network stuff won't work right. Here is what I found. The following kernel related things all have version numbers: /boot/vmlinuz-version /boot/System.map-version /boot/initrd.img-version I gather for pre file system mounted module loading e.g. ext3 /lib/modules/version It seems to me that there should be seperate /etc/modules-version files as well as that seems to be the only thing stopping seemless booting from version to version. At least at first blush. The /etc/init.d/modutils script is what loads the modules and prints the 'Calculating module dependencies' line in the boot sequence. It calls depmod -a which creates the /lib/modules/version/modules.dep file AFAIK so it understands the kernel version. Later in the script it loops through the entries in /etc/modules and calls modprobe. Couldn't this script use uname -r and then load /etc/modules-version where version comes from the uname -r output? This I think would make everything work better you could have different kernel versions and custom versions etc. work together better. Comments and suggestions welcome.

Module Loading at Boot
All, I have a new Sony Vaio Z505LS, which I have gotten Debian installed on. Everything works, except one thing: when I boot, the system loads the sound card modules before the Ethernet card modules, and the sound card steals the Ethernet's IRQ. This does not happen if I load the Ethernet card first. I can easily frankenstein into the init scripts the functionality that the Ethernet card gets loaded first, but I would rather know the Debian way of doing this correctly. I'm guessing it has something to do with the /etc/modules.conf setup? Btw, if anyone is interested in how I got Debian installed on this laptop, I'd be happy to write it up. The USB floppy drive makes for an interesting install, given that Debian likes a Rescue and a Root floppy, and the kernel on the Rescue floppy doesn't speak USB...

module loading problems
I was asked by a friend to help him install debian onto one of his computers.He downloaded the programs allowing him to install the base system, which we did. We used a cdrom I Got from the book Debian GNU/linux 2.1 unleased, and installed the packages that would allow us to compile a new kernel. He downloaded kernel version 2.2.9.

Has any one got any idea what the problem might be ? Two questions: 1) Obviously it is to do with the loading of modules but I can't why they are being loaded they are in /lib/modules/2.2.9. It seems however that ppp has been loaded but requires slhc which has also not been located (it is also in /lib/mod..). Can anyone help. It would be nice to find out why this problem is occuring and not just reinstall everthing. I have already learnt alot searching through various archives on linux in search of a solution. 2) How can I get dmesg or some log file to save a complete list of all the messages that the kernel prints when it is booting.

Re: After ftp upgrade of slink, module loading fails
After allowing an upgrade of slink packages without watching too closely, I then discovered that the auto loading of modules (ppp,sound,vfat) fails for all modules. I can use insmod to *manually* load these modules (in dependency order) and everything works. The modules.dep file is correct (depmod -a doesn't help), it has the right dependencies and locations. I have done nothing to the kernel; no new kernel.

Having caught that it had something to do with modules, i reinstalled modconf modutils from hamm, and seems to work again. also, it didn't merely stop at not autoloading, they didn't seem to stay properly loaded once inserted. in particular, i'd log in, insert the ppp module, log out, connect and try to start a ppp session, and the host where i was doing this would report to syslog that the kernel didn't support ppp. anyway, downgrade the two modules, and it seems to work. For that matter, putting ppp in /etc/modules still gave me the not supported problem. rick
