Public bug reported: == Comment: #0 - Mauricio Faria De Oliveira - 2016-07-11 18:47:59 == ---Problem Description--- modprobe does not honor blacklist options in kernel cmdline unless -b is used (at least on the installer)
The modprobe.blacklist option is required as a work-around until a solution to a device-driver bug is found (IBM LTC bug 138273). I've gone through the code of the kmod src pkg, but didn't spot anything obvious. Passing along to the Ubuntu team. Contact Information = Mauricio Faria de Oliveira <[email protected]> / Lekshmi C. Pillai <[email protected]> ---Steps to Reproduce--- Boot the installer w/ this boot/kernel cmdline option (the alias w/ dashes is not required, but is here just in case): modprobe.blacklist=scsi_dh_alua,scsi-dh-alua On the dialog for username/password, select Go Back, then Exit to shell: The blacklist is detected/present in the config: ~ # modprobe -c | grep alua blacklist scsi_dh_alua blacklist scsi-dh-alua But the module is insmod-ed anyway: ~ # modprobe -v -n scsi-dh-alua insmod /lib/modules/4.4.0-21-generic/kernel/drivers/scsi/device_handler/scsi_dh_alua.ko Unless -b is used: ~ # modprobe -v -n -b scsi-dh-alua ~ # Installer kernel: [ 0.000000] Linux version 4.4.0-21-generic (buildd@bos01-ppc64el-017) (gcc version 5.3.1 20160413 (Ubuntu/IBM 5.3.1-14ubuntu2) ) #37-Ubuntu SMP Mon Apr 18 18:30:22 UTC 2016 (Ubuntu 4.4.0-21.37-generic 4.4.6) ** Affects: linux (Ubuntu) Importance: Undecided Assignee: Taco Screen team (taco-screen-team) Status: New ** Tags: architecture-ppc64le bugnameltc-143679 severity-high targetmilestone-inin16041 ** Tags added: architecture-ppc64le bugnameltc-143679 severity-high targetmilestone-inin16041 ** Changed in: ubuntu Assignee: (unassigned) => Taco Screen team (taco-screen-team) ** Package changed: ubuntu => linux (Ubuntu) -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1602717 Title: modprobe does not honor blacklist options in kernel cmdline unless -b is used (at least on the installer) To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux/+bug/1602717/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
