Darrick, /oldroot/mnt/ does not exist on my system. Are you suggesting that I should create /oldroot/mnt/asturw/etc/modprobe.conf? What is the best practice way of adding to modprobe.conf. If I didn't know about this filesystem structuring (oldroot etc) how would I find out - e.g. is there any documentation which indicates how to create modprobe.conf settings on Astlinux, or details what files get overwritten from the keydisk. How for example should I kmow that some /etc files (e.g. rc.conf and zaptel.conf) are read from the keydisk and used by the system instead of the image ones but yet others (like /mnt/kd/etc/modprobe.conf) are not. Do you consider that the the problem with MODOPTS not being picked up is a bug which needs to be raised?
