Bug 37086 – Module already in kernel errors in /etc/hotplug/pci.rc using udev

• Status: RESOLVED FIXED
• Product: Gentoo Linux

[Description Ralf Holzer 2004-01-03 03:32:34 UTC]

I just switched to udev on kernel 2.6.0. The /etc/hotplug/pci.rc script now reports the following errors on startup:

Jan  3 06:11:44 domino modprobe: FATAL: Module sis_agp already in kernel.
Jan  3 06:11:44 domino modprobe: FATAL: Module ehci_hcd already in kernel.
Jan  3 06:11:44 domino modprobe: FATAL: Module ohci_hcd already in kernel.
Jan  3 06:11:44 domino modprobe: FATAL: Module sis_agp already in kernel.
Jan  3 06:11:44 domino modprobe: FATAL: Module ehci_hcd already in kernel.
Jan  3 06:11:44 domino modprobe: FATAL: Module ohci_hcd already in kernel.
Jan  3 06:11:44 domino modprobe: FATAL: Module sis_agp already in kernel.
Jan  3 06:11:44 domino modprobe: FATAL: Module ehci_hcd already in kernel.
Jan  3 06:11:44 domino modprobe: FATAL: Module ohci_hcd already in kernel.
Jan  3 06:11:44 domino modprobe: FATAL: Module sis_agp already in kernel.

If I remove the "/sbin/hotplug pci" call from pci.rc, the errors are gone. 
It makes no difference whether I autoload these modules on boot or not. 

I am using udev 012 and hotplug 20030805-r3.

Try changing ``MODPROBE="/sbin/modprobe -s"'' in /etc/hotplug.functions to ``MODPROBE="/sbin/modprobe -s -q"'' and see if that helps?

[Comment 2 Ralf Holzer 2004-01-04 02:45:32 UTC]

Yes, adding -q to modprobe fixes it. Thanks.

[Comment 3 Pau Oliva 2004-01-04 16:30:25 UTC]

Same error here, fixed adding "-q" to modprobe as plasmaroo said.
Shouldn't this be fixed in the ebuild?

[Comment 4 Tim Yamin (RETIRED) 2004-01-04 16:45:46 UTC]

Yes, I'm just working on an efficient and slightly better solution - adding "-q" also shuts out "module not found" errors, which is not what somebody would ideally want.

I just fixed this in upstream, will show up in next release.

Fixed in 2004_03_29 release
