Date: Sat, 9 Apr 2005 02:19:35 -0400 Message-ID: Reply-To: Maximiliano Rioseco Mime-Version: 1.0 Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit Return-path: Sender: linux-newbie-owner@vger.kernel.org List-Id: Content-Type: text/plain; charset="us-ascii" To: linux-newbie@vger.kernel.org Hi: I'm playing with kernel 2.6.11-rc2 and see that some kernel modules are marked [permanent] when I make lsmod. This topic was treated in linux-kernel mailing list but I quest if somebody can explain in more detail the reason for permanent modules (is it only for debugging reasons and will be removed in stable releases of kernel?). Thanks in advance for your help.
