Hi,

In Debian we are currently seeing some problems with drivers that are=20
repeatedly loaded unsuccessfully:
kernel: Intel ISA PCIC probe: not found.
=46ATAL: 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=20
recent kernels provide $MODALIAS while they should not. So udev will=20
always try loading again the driver after it has been loaded."

He has suggested working around this by excluding loading drivers for=20
platform devices in udev. However, Sven Luther noted that e.g. the=20
Pegasos marvell gigabit ethernet port is a platform device for which the=20
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,
=46rans Pop

P.S. Please keep the debian BTS CCed on replies.
