| 0.9 Release of module-init-tools |
| |
| This release needs depmod again, which should help speed for those of |
| you with 1300 modules. A replacement depmod is provided, since the |
| previous one gets rightfully confused by 2.5.47+ kernels. You will |
| require a small kernel patch to 2.5.50 (see below) for PCI and USB |
| tables to work. |
| |
| Also included is modules.conf2modprobe.conf, which is fairly |
| simplistic but should get most people up and running. This will be |
| enhanced as new features go into the new modprobe. |
| |
| Some dummy options are implemented, and "modprobe -c" is implemented |
| too, which should help Mandrake and RedHat's init scripts deal with |
| the change. |
| |
| Many thanks to those who provided patches, bug reports, and copies of |
| their init scripts. Your feedback is greatly appreciated! |
| |
| Please report any bugs to rusty@rustcorp.com.au. |
| |
| Thanks! |
| Rusty. |
