I recently upgraded from kernel 2.0.35 to 2.2.10 and am having difficulty getting modules loaded on the fly by kmod. I have easily got sound to work by creating the following file:
-----telmer:/etc/modutils/sound alias char-major-14 sb post-install sb /sbin/modprobe "-k" "adlib_card" options sb io=0x220 irq=5 dma=1 dma16=5 mpu_io=0x330 options adlib_card io=0x388 options sound dmabuf=1 ------------------------------- However, I have not had any such luck getting my printer and tape drive to work (which both ran flawlessly under 2.0.35 using modules and kerneld). For my printer I have -----telmer:/etc/modutils/printing options parport_pc io=0x378 irq=7 options lp parport=0 ------------------------------ but lsmod always reports [EMAIL PROTECTED]:/etc/modutils# lsmod Module Size Used by parport_probe 2980 0 (autoclean) parport_pc 5624 1 (autoclean) lp 4480 0 (autoclean) (unused) parport 6852 1 (autoclean) [parport_probe parport_pc lp] ide-cd 22484 1 (autoclean) cdrom 13240 0 (autoclean) [ide-cd] vfat 11196 1 (autoclean) fat 25120 1 (autoclean) [vfat] and lpq reports [EMAIL PROTECTED]:/etc/modutils# lpq waiting for lp to become ready (offline ?) Rank Owner Job Files Total Size 1st root 4 printing 55 bytes Can anyone point me to where I am going wrong? As for my tape drive that runs using tob and afio, running tob loads ftape but not zftape: [EMAIL PROTECTED]:/etc/modutils# lsmod Module Size Used by ftape 90688 0 (autoclean) (unused) parport_probe 2980 0 (autoclean) parport_pc 5624 1 (autoclean) lp 4480 0 (autoclean) (unused) parport 6852 1 (autoclean) [parport_probe parport_pc lp] ide-cd 22484 1 (autoclean) cdrom 13240 0 (autoclean) [ide-cd] vfat 11196 1 (autoclean) fat 25120 1 (autoclean) [vfat] Does anyone know how to tell kmod to preload zftape before ftape (if that is the problem - if not what is?)? Any help would be gratefully appreciated. Cheers, Colin. -- Colin Telmer, Ottawa, Ontario, Canada <mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]> <http://www.telmer.com>
