Subject: modules.conf and new modtils? (broken?)
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.
