When I boot a live cd with "acpi=on" in the kernel parameters I receive "No such file or directory" error messages when it tries to insmod modules. I patched it to use modprobe instead. I also redirected modprobe's stderr to /dev/null. Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. Boot a livecd with ACPI kernel support ( add "acpi=on" to the kernel parameters ). 2. Observe "No such file or directory" error messages from the acpi insmod commands. Actual Results: insmod: can't read 'processor': No such file or directory Expected Results: modprobe should quietly load the module Portage 2.0.51-r3 (default-linux/x86/2004.3, gcc-3.3.4, glibc-2.3.4.20040808-r1, 2.6.7-1029 i686) ================================================================= System uname: 2.6.7-1029 i686 AMD Athlon(tm) XP 2000+ Gentoo Base System version 1.6.6 distcc 2.18.2 i386-pc-linux-gnu (protocols 1 and 2) (default port 3632) [enabled] ccache version 2.3 [disabled] Autoconf: sys-devel/autoconf-2.59-r5 Automake: sys-devel/automake-1.8.5-r1 Binutils: sys-devel/binutils-2.15.92.0.2-r1 Headers: sys-kernel/linux-headers-2.4.21-r1 Libtools: sys-devel/libtool-1.5.2-r7 ACCEPT_KEYWORDS="x86 ~x86" AUTOCLEAN="yes" CFLAGS="-O2 -mcpu=i686 -pipe -fomit-frame-pointer" CHOST="i386-pc-linux-gnu" COMPILER="" CONFIG_PROTECT="/etc /usr/X11R6/lib/X11/xkb /usr/kde/2/share/config /usr/kde/3.3/env /usr/kde/3.3/share/config /usr/kde/3.3/shutdown /usr/kde/3/share/config /usr/lib/mozilla/defaults/pref /usr/share/config /usr/share/texmf/dvipdfm/config/ /usr/share/texmf/dvips/config/ /usr/share/texmf/tex/generic/config/ /usr/share/texmf/tex/platex/config/ /usr/share/texmf/xdvi/ /var/bind /var/qmail/control" CONFIG_PROTECT_MASK="/etc/gconf /etc/terminfo /etc/env.d" CXXFLAGS="-O2 -mcpu=i686 -pipe -fomit-frame-pointer" DISTDIR="/mnt/sd/a/2/var/cache/portage/distfiles" FEATURES="autoaddcvs autoconfig buildpkg distcc distlocks sandbox sfperms" GENTOO_MIRRORS="ftp:///ftp-stud.fht-esslingen.de/pub/Mirrors/gentoo/ http://gentoo.binarycompass.org http://gentoo.osuosl.org/ http://gentoo.ccccom.com" MAKEOPTS="-j5" PKGDIR="/mnt/sd/a/2/var/cache/portage/packages" PORTAGE_TMPDIR="/mnt/sd/a/2/var/tmp" PORTDIR="/usr/portage" PORTDIR_OVERLAY="/mnt/sd/a/2/usr/local/portage" SYNC="rsync://rsync.gentoo.org/gentoo-portage" USE="3dnow X Xaw3d accessibility acl acpi acpi4linux adns aim alsa apache2 apm arts atlas audiofile avi berkdb bidi bindist bitmap-fonts bonobo caps cdr crypt cscope cups curl dedicated dga directfb doc dvd dvdr encode esd ethereal evo f77 fam fastcgi fbcon fbdev ffmpeg fftw firebird fla flac foomaticdb fortran freetds freewnn gb gcj gd gdbm gif gimp gimpprint ginac gmp gnome gphoto2 gpm gps gstreamer gtk gtk2 gtkhtml icq imagemagick imap imlib imlib2 informix innodb ipv6 jabber java joystick jpeg junit kde kerberos krb4 ladccalcms ldap leim lesstif libg++ libgda libwww ltsp mad maildir mbox mcal memlimit mikmod mmx mono motif mozilla mozsvg mpeg mpi msn mule mysql nas ncurses netcdf nhc98 nls oci8 odbc offensive oggvorbis opengl oscar oss pam pcmcia pda pdflib perl plotutils png pnp postgres ppds prelude python qt quicktime readline samba sasl scanner sdl slang slp snmp socks5 softmmu speex spell sqlite sse ssl svg tcltk tcpd tetex theora tiff truetype trusted unicode usb vhosts videos wavelan wifi wmf wxwindows x86 xbase xface xine xinerama xml xml2 xmms xosd xv xvid yahoo yaz zeo zlib"
Created attachment 44330 [details, diff] replace insmod with modprobe and redirect stderr to /dev/null
Actually, we're usining insmod for a reason. The new behavior of modprobe is that it will load a module no matter what. We do *not* want this functionality in the LiveCD. I am adding the stderr redirection to each, but using modprobe is simply not an option.
Moving these so we can remove the "Install CD" component from "Gentoo Linux". I apologize to everyone for this spam, but according to the bugzilla developers, this is the only reasonable way to do this.
