lanrat, next mkinitrd will have an option for using hwdetect for hostcontrollers and filesystems.

Thanks, tpowa, I'll have to try that.
and you should change your modprobe.conf to newest version, then lp is laoded automatically too if parport_pc is loaded.
Already done, my system is up to date.

Ah, thanks, that worked.
(Damn, this script is cool.)

tpowa - I've upgraded to initscripts 0.7.1-6 from [testing], and I'm still not getting rtc loaded, as mentioned a few posts ago. Is it OK to put this here, or should I post it in Flyspray?
Offline
seems your rtc has an other hardware adress then on my pc's and hotplug,
i need the PNP address of it, search in /sys/bus/pnp/devices/ for the device with the right irq (it's in resources) then look at id and send this to me.
thanks

Hi tpowa:
You replied to my newbie posting regarding lp printer. I followed the advice there and upgraded the system to with the new init scripts and hwdetect. I've been following this thread at the same time.
For some reason, my parallel port printer will not enable unless I have both parport and parport_pc. I modified the new modprobe.conf file to added parport this way:
install parport modprobe -i parport; parport_pc modprobe -i parport_pc ; modprobe lp ; true
And this loaded both modules.
Unfortunately, using either the modprobe.conf.pacnew or my modified version, lp doesn't get loaded. I've only been able to load lp automatically by adding it to the module array in rc.conf.
Does this make any sense?
BTW, my system is booting in about half the time and hardware identification is generally more reliable with the new scripts. Thx!

install parport modprobe -i parport ;modprobe parport_pc; modprobe lp ; true
should be the right line for you
EDIT:
Please search your parport in /sys/bus/pnp/devices and provide me the id
thanks
Offline
search in /sys/bus/pnp/devices
I don't have /sys/bus/pnp - rtc still works though, when loaded from rc.conf. It's a custom kernel, so I can live with it that way if necessary.

Hi tpowa,
I cannot find parport in /sys/bus/pnp/devices. I can find parport_pc. Its id is pnp0401. This is what I see:i8042 aux i8042 kbd parport_pc serial systemAm I looking in the right place?
I changed modprobe.conf as suggested. lp still does not load from that alone. Perhaps it's related to the other issue. "modprobe lp" from the command line, or add "lp" to the module array both seem to work.
Thx again for your hard work!

strange that should really trigger lp module, hm don'T know why it doesn'T work on your system
Offline
Just one problem here - ide-cd is not detected. Should it be?
Offline
no ide-cd cannot be detected it's not pci nor PNP, idecore and your chipset can be detected
Offline
Maybe it would be worth grepping through dmesg output in search of ATAPI drives.
Offline
ok added full ide,scsi detection, enjoy

Yay! When comes the new initscripts package? 8)

Actually, it sits in testing.

No one has addressed the fact that this 'hwdetect' happens before modules from rc.conf get loaded. For some of us (me at least) this is unacceptable, because some modules MUST BE LOADED BEFORE OTHER ONES. This is a serious issue for me because some sound modules (ALSA-OSS support) won't work unless they are loaded BEFORE the main ALSA modules.

I'd like to report a little bug. You didn't take into account that snd-intel8x0m == snd_intel8x0m, so if I blacklist the latter, it will be ignored.
Offline
shadowhan i can't confirm alsa oss modules, because they are triggered by modprobe.conf and it works fine here, be more precise else i can't help you, the modules are sorted alphabetical so please try to help us to get it perfect.

Uhh Shadowhand, the OSS stuff works fine for me... What sound card are you using?

Soundblaster Live (snd-emu10k1)
For me, snd-pcm-oss must be loaded before any other ALSA module or my ALSA OSS emulation will bork (no Flash plugin sound, for instance). I don't know why, but I figured it out a while ago and it's been working ever since.
Also, soundcore and snd-seq have to be loaded after snd-pcm-oss but before other modules, to make the sound sequencer work properly (for me). This is a less important issue, and I haven't tested it in a while, but at one time, it was the case.

I've never heard of anyone else having this trouble with an SB Live... :? Can someone confirm this problem?
Offline
shadowhand:
I have the same module. I found that if I have this line in modprobe.conf everything loads fine:
install snd-pcm modprobe -i snd-pcm ; modprobe snd-pcm-oss ; true
install snd-seq modprobe -i snd-seq ; modprobe snd-seq-oss ; true

That's in there by default! :?

I had it left out one time for some reason and it gave me problems -thought maybe thats what happened to him.
