Description:
#20046 is not only a feature request anymore, at least the severity increased With the replacement of /lib/modules/`uname -r`/updates by /lib/modules/`uname -r`/extramodules external modules won't get a preference over inline modules anymore. To my understanding depmod uses an automatic prioritization for modules in the "updates/" directory only. Current extra modules will need an override-statement in depmod.d/$name.conf. A possible solution would be: echo "search extramodules updates built-in" >> /etc/depmod.d/depmod.conf Additional info: * module-init-tools 3.16-2 * linux 3.1-4 Steps to reproduce: + put a copy of several modules in extramodules/ + run "depmod -a" + test "modinfo $modulename" and see what version will be chosen Test with _several_ files since you cannot be sure that the module chosen has been preferred because it overrides the built-in module or just because it was found first. I noticed this issue when installing the tp_smapi kernel modules. |
