Message-ID: <1123747167.31868.11.camel@localhost> (raw)
hello.. i am sending this mail to this list on request of greg, so he
can answer in public.
original mail:
the questions i have are about linux and hotplug, i dont fully
understand how it works, and its relationship with udev.
i run gentoo with udev, and then i noticed that hotplug was not used as
hotplug manager anymore, udevsend is. and then hotplug is not nessecary,
so i unmerged hotplug and coldplug, because i believed that those bash
scripts for modprobing modules of devices that you have would now be
done via udevsend, however it does now...
then i read up, and it seems that i still need them, however, hotplug-ng
should now be able to do this stuff for a few of the things hotplug bash
scripts did, namely the pci "agent" as it was called in /etc/hotplug,
which will autoload modules for pci stuff, which i guess also includes
stuff like amd64-agp, which stopped being autoloaded after stopping to
use coldplug...
i was wondering if you could explain to me how these things works, what
i need for what, i would really like to get the autoloading part back
with hotplug-ng.. if thats possible, so that i dont need those bash
scripts anymore.. if all i need is hotplug-ng installed i can easily
write a ebuild and stuff...
------
updates:
i already wrote an ebuild and installed hotplug-ng, however hotplugging
isnt happening, when inserting stuff it doesent load modules.. is there
a way to make hotplug-ng do what hotplug/coldplug does? also, if you
should want my hotplug-ng ebuild its availiable here:
http://kaspersandberg.com/~redeeman/hotplug-ng-002.ebuild
basically what i have done is uninstall coldplug and hotplug, and
installed hotplug-ng, i tried invoke hotplug-ng myself, but i couldnt
get it to do anything...
Regards,
Kasper Sandberg
