I'd like help regarding a problem I'm having with kernel module
snd_seq_midi. Until sometime in March this module was being
automatically inserted; that's no longer happening. The module is still
present and can be manually inserted with modprobe.
I know that snd_seq_midi is part of package "linux" but I don't know
what's responsible for automatically inserting the module. I'd
appreciate any information as to how I can find out.
The issue may have started with my update of linux to 3.19.2-1 on March
21. Today I updated linux to 3.19.3-1 but that didn't solve the problem.
It's also possible that the issue is related to ALSA; I updated alsa-lib
and alsa-utils to 1.0.29-1 on March 10.
I'd appreciate any help regarding how snd_seq_midi used to be
automatically inserted, or general information regarding how automatic
module insertion works. Thanks.
the wiki explains kernel modules here:
https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Kernel_modules
I'd read the wiki page previously; it doesn't explain the details of
what I'm looking for. It indicates that "Today, all necessary modules
loading is handled automatically by udev..." but I haven't been able to
find out *how* module loading is done by udev.
alternatively(though perhaps unecessary/ill-advised?) you could load the
module early by adding it to mkinitcpio.conf and rebuilding your kernel.
you can search "mkinitcpio, arch" for the arch wiki page on that.
I'd read that as well, but that's a last resort. I don't know why
snd_seq_midi isn't loaded automatically anymore and so don't know if
it's intentional or if it's a bug.
Thanks.
