I updated to 1.1.19-r1, yesterday. Since that I get over one hundred error messages on boot. The error is: "modprobe: Can't locate module /dev/..." I get the error for each device in /dev. Manually started there are no errors. Furthermore there aren't a message in system log. Processor: Pentium 4 Kernel: Gentoo 2.4.20-r5
was cups the only thing you updated?
No, according to dependencies cups applied: ghostscript-7.05.6-r3 foomatic-3.0.0 foomatic-db-20030716 foomatic-db-engine-3.0.0 foomatic-filters-3.0.0 hpijs-1.4.1
what about baselayout or something like that?
Oh, I missed one: gimp-print-4.3.18
No, the new baselayout I've had applied only after the errors cames on boot!!!!!!!!
I didn't think this error applies to my printer configuration, because it's worked errorless before update. Should I try the gimp-print-cups instead of gimp-print?
Could it be that the ppd-files are stored now different, so that I must apply my printer again?
No, gimp-print-cups won't work, it's deprecated. If you want to generate the ppd files by the ebuild you have to set the ppds useflag. I still don't think this problem is related to cups, it's a problem that i had a month ago (dunno how to fix) and it was somehow related to baselayout. http://forums.gentoo.org/viewtopic.php?t=64307&highlight=baselayout+dev
maybe it's your gawk version, not sure anywhere
Well, misterious. No errors with dmesg and in log. No baselayout change. The only new versions I've had installed before, haven't leave to boot errors, here the emerge log: 1057821737: *** emerge --update gentoolkit bash apache 1057857478: *** emerge --update Archive-Tar File-Spec 1057944950: *** emerge --update unzip sane-frontends libdvdcss gawk qt 1057949380: *** emerge --update netscape-communicator 1058012969: *** emerge --update bonobo-activation gnome-panel libgnome libgnomeui alsa-lib alsa-xmms alsa-driver alsa-tools alsa-utils transcode 1058100823: *** emerge --update util-linux superkaramba 1058138750: *** emerge --update pam-login gettext 1058201893: *** emerge --update doxygen nvidia-kernel procps gettext 1058206226: *** emerge --update gettext 1058296023: *** emerge --update XML-Sablot xine-lib alsa-driver alsa-tools procps
How can I fix the error messages? This fill my log-files rapidly.
you sayed they don't appear in your log? i think gawk is the devil.
I'm trying again, with re-emerged gawk-3.1.2-r3 and let see what's happening.
No, gawk isn't the problem. I've had tried 3.1.2-r3 (the old version) and still the same error. My bet it's something in combination with /etc/init.d/modules... Well, this error makes me crazy.
maybe this thread helps: http://forums.gentoo.org/viewtopic.php?t=40567&highlight=modprobe+dev

Sorry, this didn't help, because I using devfsd-1.3.25-r3 since I've had installed gentoo (two months ago). Furthermore enhanced RTC support is enabled in each kernel.
Well, it seems that not all dev-files are tried out. Only lp, usb and tty files. So that I think that cups trying to find a printer?!?
no idea, you could try cups-1.1.18 again and see if the problem is gone
please remerge cups-1.19-r1 i changed something on the bootscript
I am experiencing this as well on sparc and x86. I tried re-emerging cups just now as the last note in the bug asks, but no change on sparc (haven't tested x86 yet).
can you please give me the order the services are started on your pc?
I get this as well. I've heard it said that cupsd needs to depend on hotplug, but I haven't tested this out. Would one of you add 'need hotplug' to your cupsd init script and test this?
I'm not sure that adding hotplug will fix it. I'm currently running cups on a system that only prints to remote printers and don't have hotplug installed. In the 1.1.18 days it never had this problem. Is the hotplug dependency something new to the new version of cups?
The recent initd fix to have cupsd launch after the logger fixes the problem here for me.
should be fixed -> close
