    Suggestion for Modprobe
    Hi

    I use RedHat 7.3 and after re-compiling kernel + modules I got the following warning / error message at bootup:

    "Cann't locate module Block-Major-..."

    After guessing and re-compiling kernel + module several dozen times, I found the culprit: there are several files on "/dev" directory related to non existent hardware device. You should delete this "/dev/.." files to eliminate the message.

    Perhaps Modutils author can print/mention the device name that cause the "Cann't..." message to help debugging / solving the problem.

    At present it is difficult to find the offending "/dev/..." files. You should run the following command:

    ls -l /dev > out1.txt

    Search the out1.txt for major device number of "/dev/..." files, usually before "," (coma) sign. Find the correct number related to the modprobe warning.

    If the hardware device related to "/dev/..." file does not exist on your machine, delete this file.

    Bug in insmod
    Insmod handles the following legal command correctly:
    insmod module symbol=value
    But the following illegal command line throws insmod into an infinite loop:
    insmod module symbol

    E-mail with a possible solution has been sent to Richard Henderson.
