Update of kernel: file in /etc/modprobe.d missing

That it's missing I know. I tried to apply a fix to the "Warning! ehci_hcd should always be loaded before uhci_hcd and ohci_hcd, not after" by adding a file in /etc/modprobe.d according to some suggestions I found, but it didn't really fixing anything and hence I removed the file.

Now when updating the kernel it complains each time about that missing file and I can't find any information to why and based on what it still looks for that file. How do I fix this?

It doesn't affect the system as far as I can see, but the message is annoying and I prefer to clean this little mess up.

I'm a little confused. Did you delete /etc/modprobe.d/usb-load-ehci-first and now you need it back? If so, it's in the filesystem package.

Re: Update of kernel: file in /etc/modprobe.d missing

Sorry if it's unclear.

1.) I simply created the file manually in /etc/modprobe.d/
2.) I'm not good at this but even if it was picked up when creating a new kernel it didn't fix anything
3.) Thus I decided to remove the file manually
4.) Now when updating the kernel is complains about this missing file, so its previous existence must be "registered" somewhere but I don't where

I only want the process of updating the kernel to not look for this file.

Re: Update of kernel: file in /etc/modprobe.d missing

OK, let me show the output of pacman:

>>> Generating initial ramdisk, using mkinitcpio.  Please wait...
==> Building image "default"
==> Running command: /sbin/mkinitcpio -k 2.6.28-ARCH -c /etc/mkinitcpio.conf -g /boot/kernel26.img

As can be seen it still after I don't know how many updates look for a file I only once tested. So somewhere it's registered as needed parameter.

in the base hook obviously.. run "touch /etc/modprobe.d/usb-load-ehci-first"

Re: Update of kernel: file in /etc/modprobe.d missing

But I don't need or want it any more. Yes, it's quite obvious that it scans for the file during base hook, but how can I edit it to not look for it?

That's what I want, clean up any trace of that deprecated file that didn't do any good anyway.
