Subject: Re: show all modules which taint the kernel ?
Date: Sun, 17 Sep 2006 11:34:50 +0200 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <1313891898@web.de> (raw)
if there is a "contaminant" inside the kernel, why should one see this only when it`s being inserted (i.e. usually at boot time) ?
i don`t know about the "nvidia(P)..." thing, but i would find it really useful to be able to easily distinguish between the "good" and the "not belonging to this kernel" modules.
i have seem several discussions about "modules which taint the kernel are evil" - so why not pillory them by listing appropriate information with lsmod ?
