What would happen if a symbol filename is changed by replacing the '-' with '_'? The module-init-tools wouldn't care. I don't know the internals of kudzu, but discover2 uses modprobe to load the modules. The internal workarounds in discover2 for the inconsistency would become obsolete. Maybe the alsa stuff? There are many alsa modules with '-'. Would it be easier to fix the output of /proc/modules than renaming all modules with '-'? Of course I would be glad to help. Regards Harri
