depmod, which comes with sys-apps/kmod does not create modules.pcimap and others in the kernel's module tree as module-init-tools did. i used this file to do a kind of hardware detection in an initrd with matching /sys/bus/pci/devices/{vendor,device,class} against it to determine which module to load (no udev in use there). is this behavior by design? another way for my intent would be to match /sys/devices/*/modalias against /lib/modules/<VERSION>/modules.alias . Is thera a "magic switch" to create modules.pcimap or did i use a deprecated feature of module-init-tools ? Thanks, Nico

kmod is not supposed to create modules.pcimap anymore, you can delete the file some other files got deprecated too, and you can delete them as well so yeah, you used a deprecated feature from m-i-t
(In reply to comment #2) and the alternative is ... what ? these map files are useful to shell scripts that want to do such lookups. i can see that `usbmodules` is also now broken.
(In reply to comment #3) > (In reply to comment #2) > > and the alternative is ... what ? these map files are useful to shell > scripts that want to do such lookups. i can see that `usbmodules` is also > now broken. well, upstream dropped as it wasn't "necessary" anymore. it becomes clear if googling around mailing lists involving kmod. usbmodules is a script provided by Gentoo (you), right? there is a pending patch for busybox to replace this functionality: https://bugs.launchpad.net/finnix/+bug/980556/comments/1 http://www.mail-archive.com/busybox@busybox.net/msg17755.html is that acceptable?
(In reply to comment #4) > is that acceptable? or rather, would you be willing to clean it up and roll it as a separate executable called sysmodules? perhaps put it even in it's own package?
dropped the installation of the usbmodules script from usbutils-006-r1 while migrating to the new python eclasses. in any case, it should be incorporated with the package where the sysmodules executable goes (if it goes)
(In reply to comment #4) `lspci -k` is also semi-broken. you going to drop that program to workaround the issue too ? :) if the same info is available in modules.alias (albeit, in a kmod-specific format), we should be able to adopt to that.

@vapier: linux-pci mailing list has been informed
This bug is now fixed in pciutils git by using libkmod, using 2 out of these 3 patches: 1. http://git.kernel.org/cgit/utils/pciutils/pciutils.git/commit/?id=b1861a8de540b160f6e1254d7ca5fe8a35eab59b 2. http://git.kernel.org/cgit/utils/pciutils/pciutils.git/commit/?id=dbe1e0a65e3dc00ae66db87d80f14d899dd7b416 (This is between the commits, and is likely unrelated) 3. http://git.kernel.org/cgit/utils/pciutils/pciutils.git/commit/?id=17ec7e70ea71a3ccbccf9f3b9cfe846eb1200e0d It looks like they made Linux always use libkmod, does that hurt some systems? Some embedded? That I'm not sure of, maybe there should be a ./configure flag
to disable the optional libkmod support all is needed is `emake LIBKMOD=no` and now git respects $PKG_CONFIG too vapier: OK to close this as resolved, upstream, and just get it with next release?
Fixed in =sys-apps/pciutils-3.2.0 and higher
