... when USE="no-old-linux" is used to remove the old modutils. I have a couple of systems running entirely on 2.6, so (if I'm understanding the intended purpose correctly) this is just what the "no-old-linux" option is designed for. However, after mergeing the build with this option, modules-update no longer works. This is because the /sbin/generate-modprobe.conf relies on still having the old modutils tools around to generate the file. I've also tried using this on a brand new system I'm installing from scratch, so it shouldn't be due to legacy files/components on my machine.
Mike, could you please look at this?
Same problem here, when running update-modules with module-init-tools and no-old-linux I get the message "Could not generate modprobe.conf", without "no-old-linux" no problem. I think this is because modprobe.conf is generated with the old modutils tools. This problem leads to further problems, e.g. when using alsa-utils. alsa-utils reading the content of modprobe.conf for determine the custom configuration for the sound cards. When using "no-old-linux" no modprobe.conf is generated alsa-utils could not find a configuration and loads all drivers, which leads on my system to no sound. Hope you could fix this problem.
The problem is that /sbin/generate-modprobe.conf complains "Cannot find old version of modproble. Giving up." It seems that the old versions are indeed required :-/

The problem still exists, when is a solution to be expected? And, what are the effects of temporarily canceling no-old-linux?
Just to go over something quickly, what version of kernel sources are you using?
I am facing the same problem. I am running gentoo-dev-sources-2.6.9-r6
IIRC I was on about 2.6.7 when I spotted this, but it's been a problem though 2.6.9-r9 - so I think it's fair to assume that it affects the 2.6.x kernels, at least. *However* I don' think this is at all a kernel problem - the /sbin/generate-modprobe.conf script looks for modprobe.old (which doesn't exist if no-old-linux is specified) and then, failing that, looks for mdoprobe. However, it then tries to work out modprobe's version with "modprobe -V 2>/dev/null | grep -q 'modprobe version'". The current version of modprobe returns "module-init-tools version 3.0" when run with "-V", so this test fails too. It may just be this logic which is wrong, but TBH I'm not confident that if something this simple is incorrect with the new version, that the output of "modprobe -c" is actually what is wanted. Having said that, it could be as simple as replacing "grep -q 'modprobe version'" with 'grep -Eq "modprobe version|module-init-tools version"' - anyone?
yes, kernel version has nothing to do with this current modules-update cant parse the output of the new depmod, so if you install module-init-tools with USE=no-old-linux, you'll hit this bug
Reading through the manpages it is my understanding that modprobe.conf is optional and also deprecates modules.conf modules.d, correct? So just deleting those files and not worry about it anymore is an acceptable aproach?
When this means, that module-update works with "no-old-linux" => no problem...

i'm running into this bug too. 'no-old-linux' in my USE, kernel gentoo-dev-sources-2.6.10-r1. AFAIK the 3.1 version of sys-apps/module-init-tools provides for a '-c' dump config option that is different than the old one perhaps? :/
update on my previous comment. for me, making a symlink from /sbin/modprobe -> /sbin/modprobe.old was enough of a workaround. again, this is with module-init-tools 3.1 maybe throw a symlink in the module-init-tools ebuild to make a legacy symlink for those of us using 'no-old-linux' in USE
The symlink solving the problem with "Could not generate modprobe.conf", but I'm running then into an other problem: The content of modprobe.conf is different from the one created with "-no-old-linux" module-init-tools.

modprobe.conf when using modprobe instead of modprobe.old (which is a sym link to insmod.old)?????
Well it seems that generate-modprobe.conf remove not needed parts from "modprobe.old -c" and this removing doesn't work right for using modprobe instead of modprobe.old
I think to solve this problem generated-modprobe.conf need to be changed and a symlink from /sbin/modprobe to /sbin/modprobe.old is needed. In my opinion there should be a two further detection switches /sbin/modprobe.old -V 2>/dev/null | grep -q 'module-init-tools version' modprobe.old -V 2>/dev/null | grep -q 'module-init-tools version' Then it is possible to know if we using only new module-init-tools or module-init-tooles and old modprobe together. When using only new module-init-tools only the right not neede lines should be removed from modprobe.old -c output and the should "+no-old-linux" work... What do you think...?
Just to bring some life into this bug: What exactly is required from modules-update? My systems seems to work without /etc/modules.d, /etc/modules.conf and /etc/modprobe.conf, I assume that the files provided by baselayout is thus redunant. Even alsa i working... generate-modprobe.conf is supposed to translate from modules.conf to modprobe.conf and if the old modules.conf config isn't needed this too is redunant. So the original goal of modules-update should be most easily fixed by removing references to generate-modprobe.conf and change the syntax expectations for modules.d
Some googeling later... http://groups.google.se/groups?hl=sv&lr=&threadm=MPG.1c432c991ca2a215989695%40localhost&rnum=22&prev=/groups%3Fq%3Dmodprobe.conf%26start%3D20%26hl%3Dsv%26lr%3D%26scoring%3Dd%26selm%3DMPG.1c432c991ca2a215989695%2540localhost%26rnum%3D22 apparently modules.d will be handled by modprobe, a quick check in modprobe.c from the 3.1 package confirms this. So modules-update really are redundant.
correction: modprobe.d not modules.d
First, thanks to bring life back to this thread. The alsa-utils init script call modprobe for getting an information which soundcard drivers are defined for a system /etc/init.d/alsasound, Line 58 DRIVERS="$(modprobe -c | grep -E "^[[:space:]]*alias[[:space:]]+snd-card-[[:digit:]]" | awk '{print $2}')" It seems that modprobe -c looks for modprobe.conf which would be generated with modprobe.old. When this file is not created or created with modprobe for 2.6 I get an error like "Could not detect custom ALSA settings. Loading all detected alsa drivers." Therefore it is impossible for me to use the three sound card I'd configured on my system.
The google thread says the I need modprobe.d instead of modprobe.conf must be deleted? But, every ebuild I installed installing needed information into modules.d. Would all ebuild write it information to modprobe.d, at a later moment?
O.K. following works with version 3.1 (NOT with stable = 3.0) Removing modprobe.conf and creating modprobe.d and copying any configs for modules.d into it. Mading some changes to configs, because some options are gone, i.e. probeall. But, to get this work for the future, in my opinion, all ebuilds that install config files into module.d needing adopted configuration for 2.6 and should install this configuration into modprobe.d. Here are the packages which installing configs into modules.d: - app-cdr/cdrw-base - app-laptop/thinkpad - app-laptop/toshiba-utils - games-arcade/ddrmat - media-libs/svgalib - media-sound/alsa-utils - media-sound/emu10k1 - media-sound/nforce-audio - media-tv/ivtv - media-tv/linuxtv-dvb - media-video/dxr2-drive - media-video/em8300-modules - media-video/nvidia-kernel - media-video/usb-pwcx - media-video/usb-pwc-re - net-dialup/fcdsl - net-dialup/ltmodem - net-dialup/ppp - net-dialup/slmodem - net-dialup/mwavem - net-fs/davfs2 - net-misc/e1000 - net-misc/ifenslave - net-misc/zaptel - net-wireless/ndiswrapper - sys-apps/baselayout - sys-apps/pcfclock - sys-apps/s390-oco - sys-apps/x86info - sys-fs/devfsd - x11-base/x11-drm maybe some more. When making adaptation in the ebuild, in my opinion, it is useful to use "no-old-linux" to not install 2.4 configuration file and only 2.6 adpoted one. What do you think?
I'm not a module-init-tools maintainer, but module-init-tools-3.1 had some fairly common problems with kernels older than 2.6.10. So this is not something that we can immediately switch to but would be a good option in the future.
*** Bug 77227 has been marked as a duplicate of this bug. ***
I've got this problem with module-init-tools v3.1 and gentoo-dev-sources 2.6.10-r4.
I readed about 2005.0 and 2.6. This problem is a showstopper for it, isn't it? The problem is that a) module-init-tools is designed for 2.6 infrastructure and modutils for 2.4 infrastructure. In Gentoo module-init-tools is a mixture of both. A pure module-init-tools is only possible with using USE="no-old-linux". IMHO module-init-tools should only install 2.6 infrastructure files. That means, module-init-tools should detect an installed modutils and probe if .old files exists. When .old files doesn't exists the installition should be aborted an info to uninstall modutils should be displayed. Then module-init-tools could be installed. When some one want to use 2.4 and 2.6 together the modutils ebuild should check for an installed module-init-tools and place the files then to the .old locations. b) module-init-tools is missing needed directories. In 2.6 module configurations are located in modprobe.d and the system reades modules.conf. In 2.4 module configurations are located in modules.d and the system reades either modules.conf or modprobe.conf. modprobe.conf is only created and used when modules.d exists (this is only when 2.4 and 2.6 exists on a system together). According to a) module-init-tools should install modprobe.d and modutils module.d. All packages which install module configuration should check for an install module-init-tools or modutils and install adopted 2.4 and 2.6 configuration in the right places (e.g. by expanding the eclass for this with a install-configuration_24 and install-configuration_26 part).
Created attachment 49393 [details, diff] generate-modprobe.conf.patch This patch should fix the problem. This works for me, but it should be tested by more people. Explanation: generate-modprobe.conf is just a filter (very slow one) that receives a file in modules.conf format and translates it to modprobe.conf format. By default, it takes it's input from modprobe.old -c which reads /etc/modules.conf, and prints it to stdout + some defaults that come from modules.dep. The output modprobe.conf contains a translated modules.conf + defaults from modules.dep. Note this is a potential problem because instead of using the default configuration from 2.6, it is using defaults from 2.4 and applying them to the 2.6 kernel. This patch just takes the file /etc/modules.conf, and feeds it to generate-modprobe.conf. The defaults coming from modules.dep are not translated. Using the new modprobe is not good because it will read /etc/modprobe.conf, not /etc/modules.conf. It would not translate the 2.4 config to the 2.6 config, but the 2.6 to 2.6.
Am I wrong, but this didn't solve the problem, that two different directories are need to hold the configuration for 2.4 and 2.6 separatly? There are different commands that 2.6 module-init-tools couldn't understand (i.e. probeall). Then the whole configuration (e.g. alsa) is ignored. How could this be resolved? Other distries using the concept that module-init-tools depends on the modprobe.d directory structure and modutils on modules.d... Furthermore there is no way to install a pure 2.6 system without "no-old-linux" and modutils. A pure 2.6 system is only available wenn unmerge modutils and using "no-old-linux" (because module-init-tools = module-init-tools + modutils; module-init-tools = module-init-tools when using "no-old-linux")
the new modprobe works with only kernel 2.6 and can work in two modes: * reading modprobe.conf * reading contents of modprobe.d If modprobe.conf exists, the first method is used, if not, the second. The old modprobe reads modules.conf, and only works with kernel 2.4. Modules-init-tools normally installs both modprobes. the old one is named modprobe.old The current gentoo way is to read modules.conf (which is configuration for the old modprobe) and produce modprobe.conf which is the configuration for new modprobe. The script generate-modprobe.conf does exactly this and requires the old modprobe to be present. The patch posted removes that requirement, so it is now possible to use the generate-modprobe.conf withought the old modprobe.old, that is with the use flag no-old-linux (which is disabled atm). generate-modprobe.conf reads the commands from modules.conf such as "probeall" and translates them to the equivalents in modprobe.conf such as "install" (man modprobe.conf for more on this) Ideally, this translation should not happen and modprobe should read modprobe.d. For that to happen, alsa, svgalib and other packages need to be modified to add a file there. Until that happens, the posted patch allows you to run a system with the no-old-linux use flag, that is emerge module-init-tools without modutils.
> By default, it takes it's input from modprobe.old -c which reads /etc/modules.conf, and prints it to stdout + some defaults that come from modules.dep. The output modprobe.conf contains a translated modules.conf + defaults from modules.dep. Just a note. It not takes the default from modules.dep, but the OLD modprobe has this defaults hardcoded. Look at the file modutils-2.4.27/util/alias.h.

Created attachment 50880 [details, diff] modules-update.patch could you guys try this ?
So to resolve this bug the following is needed: 1. All packages needing special module configuration for 2.6 kernels must be identified (according to bug #48736 not all needing it for 2.4 needs it for 2.6). These packages should put this config in /etc/modprobe.d/ 2. modules-update should only be used for 2.4 kernels, in other words modprobe.conf is deprecated. Why not make an einfo from module-init-tools that tells the user to remove all deprecated files from /etc and file bugs against the packages that breaks? =)
Hi, I get this error at every boot - is this in any way 'dangerous', or one of them, I can safely ignore?
Ok guys ... any word on how this is going ... there is a slew of new problems with the alsa 1.0.10 and module-init-tools 3.2.1 ... if you upgrade to 3.2.1 sound either errors loading the modules or looks good but will not actually play sound and locks up anything trying to access the sound devices ie. xmms mpg123 ... Any word on the correct way to fix this ... I just downgraded to 3.0-r2 and it works but I would like to move forward ... I'm running the 2.6.13-gentoo-r3 kernel so if I knew that a full re-emerge of the system with the no-old-linux use flag would work I would bite the bullet and spend the time .. as it is I've even gone as for as to emerge the 3.2.2 ebuild of module-init-tools and this doesn't help ... after reading all the chatter in this bug I see why ... any news would be greatly appreciated. Thanks for a great distro Geoffrey
there is no "slew of new problems" search bugzilla and maybe you'll find Bug 117257
baselayout-1.12.0_pre19+ and module-init-tools-3.2.2-r1+ should handle all of this graciously
It seems something is bad again in version 3.2.2-r1, many users suffer from this for instance when emerging nvidia-drivers with no-old-linux set. System stops responding and must be rebooted after time.
unrelated issue, update your modules-init-tools
