Subject: modprobe before udevstart
Date: Wed, 10 Mar 2004 07:28:53 +0000 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <200403100928.53010.bobb@absamail.co.za> (raw)
I have the usual rule for loop devices in my udev.rules, but loop
devices were not getting created at startup because the loop entries
were not yet in sysfs. Re-running the "populate_udev" script, or
udevstart, after the system was running, created the devices OK.
Devices associated with ALSA sound and LTmodem behaved similarly.
Putting an "autoload modules" loop into the startup script (rc in Gentoo)
ahead of "populate_udev" (or udevstart) made it work properly for me.
Is "modprobe essential modules before udevstart" desireable or
acceptable practice?
