(Solved)Updating Module Dependencies...

Stromblad · 2009-10-13 19:56:24

This is present for me every single boot, correct me if im wrong, but this is only supposed to happen 1 boot after installing new modules. I remember seeing this maybe once or twice before I upgraded to 2.6.32 but now its there eating up 2-4 seconds of boot time. I dont know if this is a bug or simply something really simple that can be changed in a .conf file. Anyone have any suggestions?

You can take it out if you want, but only by editing /etc/rc.sysinit.

sorry, I dont know how to do that? what should I look for? is there a way to set it to the way it was before?

rc.sysinit is a file - edit it using your favourite editor. You should look for the phrase you put in the title of this thread, and you should backup the original so you can revert the change.

I think what you are telling me to do is to edit rc.sysinit to make prevent it from updating module dependencies altogether, what I want to do is make it update module dependencies when new modules are inserted, I don't think there is a reason for it to be called on on every boot

I'm telling you where and how the module update process is currently run, which is where you need to start if you want to change the way it is run. When you come up with a way of triggering it for new modules only, rc.sysinit is where you should add it.

Im going to be honest, I have no idea what im doing to this file. Last time I tried to edit it, I broke my boot process, I have a feeling you want me to figure it out myself, which is fine but I cannot find documentation. Wanna throw me a bone?

edit to the last post, I looked up the depmod command depmod a should
depmod -A should only update if something has changed, which is what it is set to...yet it still does it on every boot
