Bug 191085 – livecd-tools: lack of acpi support in autoconfig

• Status: RESOLVED FIXED
• Product: Gentoo Linux

[Description Kristoffer 2007-09-02 18:51:45 UTC]

livecd-tools' autoconfig script doesn't load acpi modules like video, thermal and dock if acpi is enabled through the kernel command line. Instead you have to load them manually or add them to /etc/modules.autoload.d/kernel-2.6.

This is easily fixed by simply adding the following lines to somwewhere around row 290 in /etc/init.d/autoconfig:
                modprobe thermal >/dev/null 2>&1
                modprobe video >/dev/null 2>&1
                modprobe dock >/dev/null 2>&1

(this list might not be complete as there may be more acpi modules that I'm unaware of)  

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. generate a livecd with catalyst (and livecd-tools-1.0.35-r1)
2. boot livecd with acpi=on on the kernel command line
3. lsmod

Actual Results:  
livecd-tools' autoconfig script doesn't load acpi modules like video, thermal and dock.

Expected Results:  
autoconfig should load all available acpi modules.

Unless I'm mistaking, I think marking this bug as duplicate of [Bug 71812] was a mistake. This bug is about not all acpi modules being loaded by the autoconfig script. It doesn't have anything to do with insmod vs. modprobe and unwanted error messages being displayed.

Cheers!

Correct...

I've fixed this in SVN now...

OK.  This is in 1.0.36 which was just added to the tree.
