Subject: module-init-tools: Recent upgrade broke module auto-loading Package: module-init-tools Version: 3.7-pre9-1 Severity: important
After booting today, several essential modules were not loaded at bootup, giving me a barely functional system (no sound and no external drives). The missing modules were snd-ice1712 and sd-mod. Doing a manual modprobe loads the given modules without errors, and no other warnings than the umpteen messages about missing .conf extensions in /etc/modprobe.d. I have tried a reinstall of module-init-tools, udev and initramfs-tools, but that did not resolve the situation. If this is triggered by another package install, it must have been one of the packages that were installed on the 12th. I'll attach my dpkg log since the 11th, maybe someone with more knowledge than I can spot which package caused this. What is especially weird is that sd-mod is missing, while the usb-storage module does get loaded. From dmesg: [ 11.068300] usb-storage: device scan complete [ 11.068775] scsi 0:0:0:0: Direct-Access TOSHIBA MK1637GSX PQ: 0 ANSI: 2 CCS but the sd messages only appear after I perform a manual modprobe: [ 150.692889] Driver 'sd' needs updating - please use bus_type methods [...] [ 150.705723] sd 0:0:0:0: [sda] Attached SCSI disk Just today I also upgraded the kernel from 26-1 to 26-2, but both exhibit the same problem. I know that I can simply add the modules to /etc/modules and be done with it, but I'm more interested in finding out how this broke than papering over it with a workaround. -- System Information: Debian Release: squeeze/sid APT prefers testing APT policy: (800, 'testing'), (550, 'stable'), (101, 'unstable'), (100, 'experimental') Architecture: i386 (i686) Kernel: Linux 2.6.26-2-686 (SMP w/1 CPU core) Locale: LANG=en_US.UTF-8, LC_CTYPE=en_US.UTF-8 (charmap=UTF-8) (ignored: LC_ALL set to en_US.UTF-8) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/dash Versions of packages module-init-tools depends on: ii libc6 2.9-4 GNU C Library: Shared libraries ii lsb-base 3.2-22 Linux Standard Base 3.2 init scrip module-init-tools recommends no packages. module-init-tools suggests no packages. -- no debconf information -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-bugs-dist-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
