Package: hotplug
Version: 0.0.20040329-17
I have an FIC brand AMD K7 sis746 based mainboard and I've discovered that
/etc/hotplug/isapnp.rc determines that it needs to load the rtc driver and
that doesn't work,
=======================================================================
isapnp
modprobe: FATAL: Error inserting rtc (/lib/modules/2.6.10-1-k7/kernel/drivers/c
har/rtc.ko): No such device
rtc: can't be loaded
=======================================================================
In my case it's /sys/bus/pnp/devices/00:03/id = PNP0b00 that generates the
dependency on rtc. The only useful info from sysfs is the resources file,
state = active
io 0x70-0x73
irq 8
I don't know what that is, but I guess it's something that rtc is supposed to
handle.
For now I have blacklisted the rtc driver on this machine.
Another developer ([EMAIL PROTECTED]) reports the same problem on his ECS
sis746 based mainboard as well.
I also have a Gigabyte sis748 (note: 74_8_) based mainboard, but it does NOT
have the problem.
I'm not sure if hotplug should be responsible for not loading in this case
(although I'm not sure how it would determine that) or if the rtc driver needs
to be enhanced to support this thing that hotplug is seeing via sysfs.
What do you think?
Let me know if you'd like me to try anything.
Thanks,

hotplug is long gone and udev has better mechanism to load the
corresponding module, thus closing.
