[parisc-linux] Kernel module loader gived break

[5116]

Hi, all

I get messages like 

break 0,0: pid=116 command='cat'
cat[116]: Breakpoint 0

Followed by a register dump when I do some thing that would trigger the
kernel to call modprobe. Modprobe is not in stalled in my system (is it
ported yet?).

the modutils source is available by cvs from pehc.  richard was working
on it (he's on holiday right now).  don't remember how far he got.
i know he did a merge with the upstream modutils source at one point.

As Matthew mentioned, Richard Hirst worked on it and I know it works.
I've used it on the A500 to load SCSI and ACENIC modules for 64-bit kernel.
But I got the binaries directly from Richard. I think however before
posting those, I'd like them rebuilt with the matching glibc/toolchain
that Matt Taggart is working on.

For the adventurous, I would expect all richard's work to be commited to
seperate CVS repository on puffin.external.hp.com called "modutils".
But I haven't looked or tried to build it.

I have not built modutuils yet, but if I install echo as /sbin/modprobe
the problem goes away.

So something in the request module path does not handle missing files
as it should.

It is.  Thanks to Bdale there is now a .deb of it in

ftp://puffin.external.hp.com/pub/parisc/binaries/new-debs/debian/

Just tried on a b180 and it seems to work ok.

Note pehc cvs modutils is no longer up to date; if you want to build
your own, you should use the latest official source.

Is it worth deleting the pehc cvs modutils then?  It will only lead to
confusion, I think.
