Description Sebastian Pipping gentoo-dev

Modules do not get autoloaded here despite an entry in modules.autoload.d:

  $ cat /etc/modules.autoload.d/kernel-2.6 
  tp_smapi

Loading the module using modprobe works perfectly though.
Please instruct me how to track this problem down.

Could this be specific to the tp_smapi module?  It's from package app-laptop/tp_smapi.

Can we see your dmesg after boot?

PS: I'm using genkernel. Could that be part the problem? Is there anything I need to do manually to enable autoloading with an initramfs?

It looks like you are using openrc:

sys-apps/openrc:     0.6.5

Do you have the module tp_smapi in /etc/conf.d/modules  ?

Just added it, now the module loads perfectly.  Big thanks to you!
