Description Peter Simons 2003-10-16 15:04:19 UTC
I'm running the hardened-profile with hardened-sources 2.4.21. The kernel is
compiled without module support. During boot, I get error messages from some
init script, which tries to access a "QMODULE" facility or something. (It looks
like an error produced from modprobe.)

I have no idea what causes this. The error messages appear after boot/clock has
printed it's einfo message, but I can't figure out where _exactly_ this happens.

Any ideas, anyone?

Baselayout's modules rc-script check for /proc/modules, so it is something
else
(hotplug maybe?) that calls this, and not baselayout.  Please figure out
what,
as I cannot see it being the fault of baselayout.

I'll try my best to locate the "offender", but it most certainly _has_ to
be baselayout, because it happend on a system with nothing else installed.
:-) I had this problem ever since I first rebooted the machine after bootstrapping.

Newer version of Gentoo don't produce this problem anymore, so I guess it's safe to say this problem is fixed.
