I recently switched off initrd. Some modules were loaded no more. The reason is the way /etc/init.d/modules treates slashes. The header in /etc/modules.autoload says about comments: " Add the names of modules that you'd like to load when the system starts into this file, one per line. Comments begin with # and are ignored. Read man modules.autoload for additional details. " It should warn not to add any slashes after module parameters. For example if in /etc/modules.autoload I have: modulename moduleparameter # comment init scripts try to modprobe the whole line (so module fail to load). Alternatively I propose a patch for /etc/init.d/modules to cut off everything following a slash; hoping this will not break any policies.

Typo: sorry, I was speaking about hashes "#", not slashes "/"
*** Bug 88898 has been marked as a duplicate of this bug. ***
what about this change instead: - sub(/^[[:space:]]*[^[:space:]]*[[:space:]]*/, "") + sub(/^[[:space:]]*[^[:space:]#]*[[:space:]]*/, "") does that work for you ?
unfortunately this doesn't work for me, I've tried various combinations: modulename<tab>#<space>comment modulename<space>#<space>comment modulename<tab><space>#comment
yeah, that doesnt work, but this does: sub(/^[[:space:]]*[^[:space:]]*[[:space:]]*/, "") + sub(/#.*$/, "") ARGS[COUNT] = $0 i'll add this to cvs
Great! Thanks.
