[»] Bug in insmod
by Alex Wheeler - Sep 20th 1999 16:14:42

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.

    [»] Suggestion for Modprobe
    by nospamx - Aug 13th 2002 03:06:02

    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.
