Subject: Bug#398962: [2.6.18] Platform devices incorrectly provide $MODALIAS?
Date: Sat, 25 Nov 2006 20:15:10 +0000 [thread overview]

Hi,
In Debian we are currently seeing some problems with drivers that are
repeatedly loaded unsuccessfully:
kernel: Intel ISA PCIC probe: not found.
FATAL: Error inserting i82365: no such device
kernel: Intel ISA PCIC probe: not found.
[...]
According to Marco d'Itri this could be because "platform devices in
recent kernels provide $MODALIAS while they should not. So udev will
always try loading again the driver after it has been loaded."
He has suggested working around this by excluding loading drivers for
platform devices in udev. However, Sven Luther noted that e.g. the
Pegasos marvell gigabit ethernet port is a platform device for which the
driver should be loaded.
Can anyone shed some light on this and suggest a solution?
See http://bugs.debian.org/398962 for details.
Thanks in advance,
Frans Pop
P.S. Please keep the debian BTS CCed on replies.
