Subject: Re: Show module version sysfs file for built-in modules?
Date: Wed, 29 Jul 2009 23:48:32 +0200 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <845142195@web.de> (raw)
pardon - that was dumb.
must have read over that built-in.
indeed, this is a missing feature.
there are even modules/drivers which donŽt spit any line in dmesg when they are initialized - builtin or not.
there is a LOT of different behaviour in module load/init and i`d welcome if module initialization messages including version information would follow a more standard way. many modules don`t even have a version.
regards
roland
