Bug 27332 – modeprobe: can't find dependency for ...

• Status: RESOLVED FIXED
• Product: Gentoo Linux

[Description Michael Labhard 2003-08-25 19:29:16 UTC]

New installation.  baselayout-1.8.6.8-r1.  When user (not root) logs in or logs out a large number of "modprobe: can't find dependency for ..." lines are output to the root screen in console mode.  Many of these refer to various /dev files that are not present.  The machine works.  These messages do not appear to be associated with anything broken.

This is fixed with latest unstable module-init-tools, devfsd and current
stable
baselayout.
