I installed the new modutils packages from Arjan's web page as part of an attempt to try out 2.6-test on my Vaio U101. The new kernel doesn't work very smoothly, but that'll get worked out sooner or later. More alarming, though: suddenly, the sonypi driver didn't work under the *old* kernel.
A bit of investigation shows that when the module loads, the parameters in /etc/modules.conf are being ignored -- including the very important one which sets the device minor number. GIving the parameters to insmod manually works fine. WHat's going on here?
/etc/modprobe.conf file is used with 2.5 kernels.
