Description Gustavo Sverzut Barbieri 2011-12-26 22:44:28 UTC

/etc/modprobe.d/usb-load-ehci-first.conf does a nasty thing to load ehci before uhci/ohci: modprobe's install command.

The use of install command is not recommended, even more for this use. Instead one should use the "softdep" configuration option, allowing the dependency to be handled at the same process/run as modprobe, not requiring 2 extra execution of it. These lines should do it:

softdep ohci_hcd pre: ehci_hcd
softdep uhci_hcd pre: ehci_hcd


Reproducible: Always

@vapier:
Looks good to me, but can you eyeball it before I commit?

Did also for module-init-tools since some silly people are stubornly clinging on dead udev.
