Bug 344919 – sys-apps/openrc: init.d/modules: different module list with LOCALVERSION

• Status: RESOLVED INVALID
• Product: Gentoo Linux

[Description Safak Oekmen 2010-11-10 12:20:02 UTC]

kernel-2.6.36 compiled with LOCALVERSION="kms" yielding seperate modules directory in /lib/modules/2.6.36-gentookms. 

Issue: loading from directory /lib/modules/2.6.36-gentookms with aid of in a new statement in configuration file /etc/conf.d/modules: modules_2_6_36_<postfix>='list of modules'.

No way found to postfix modules_2_6_36<postfix> 

<postfix> element of {_gentookms, _gentoo_kms, _kms} such that modules are selected from given list. Any hints appreciated. Thanks.

as wormo highlighted, do not post links to pastebin in bugzilla.  those sites die over time.

looks to me like the modules init.d script already checks `uname -r` which includes any local suffix strings.

...
start() {
...
    local KV=$(uname -r)
...
    for x in "$KV" \
...
        eval list=\$modules_$(shell_var "$x")
        [ -n "$list" ] && break
...
