This does not solve the problem of drivers which do not have matching hardware, like PPP and loop device. I do not mind unconditionally loading these modules at boot, but there has to be a way to recognize them: I do not think it is acceptable to load *all* modules available on the system (what is the point of having a modular kernel then?). -- ciao, | Marco | [4890 diVLsnWO4HAuo] - To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-kernel" in the body of a message to majordomo@vger.kernel.org More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html Please read the FAQ at http://www.tux.org/lkml/
