I have my /lib/modules/*.ko gzipped to save disk space, ie. # find /lib/modules -type f -name \*.ko | xargs gzip -9 but alsasound init script fails to work with .ko.gz files: === cut here === * Loading ALSA modules * Loading: snd-mixer-oss.gz ... FATAL: Module snd_mixer_oss.gz not found. [ !! ] * Loading: snd-pcm-oss.gz ... FATAL: Module snd_pcm_oss.gz not found. [ !! ] * Loading: snd-seq-oss.gz ... FATAL: Module snd_seq_oss.gz not found. [ !! ] * Loading: snd-seq.gz ... FATAL: Module snd_seq.gz not found. [ !! ] === cut here === I think the "module lookup" lines should be changed like this: - DRIVERS="${DRIVERS} $(modprobe -l | sed -n -e '/snd.*oss/ s:.*\/\([[:alnum:]_-]\+\).ko:\1:p')" + DRIVERS="${DRIVERS} $(modprobe -l | sed -n -e '/snd.*oss/ s:.*\/\([[:alnum:]_-]\+\)\.ko.*:\1:p')" first, "." just means every character instead of the single character ".", so it should be "\.ko" instead of ".ko". And add '.*' at the end, so "\.ko.*" should match ".ko*" Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. run `/etc/init.d/alsasound start` Actual Results: * Loading ALSA modules * Loading: snd-mixer-oss.gz ... FATAL: Module snd_mixer_oss.gz not found. [ !! ] * Loading: snd-pcm-oss.gz ... FATAL: Module snd_pcm_oss.gz not found. [ !! ] * Loading: snd-seq-oss.gz ... FATAL: Module snd_seq_oss.gz not found. [ !! ] * Loading: snd-seq.gz ... FATAL: Module snd_seq.gz not found. [ !! ] Expected Results: * Loading ALSA modules ... * Loading: snd-mixer-oss ... [ ok ] * Loading: snd-pcm-oss ... [ ok ] * Loading: snd-seq-oss ... [ ok ] * Restoring Mixer Levels ... [ ok ] patch included.
Created attachment 261091 [details, diff] etc_init.d_alsasound_ko_gz.patch let .ko.gz works
The use of modules for ALSA has not been recommended practice for a long time now. Please build ALSA drivers into your kernel. The code for module loading/unloading will be removed soon.
