Description Bjarke Istrup Pedersen (RETIRED) gentoo-dev 2005-05-05 08:05:35 UTC
Coldplug has other uses that just loading modules (the new pcmcia system needs it).
Don't close this because somethings other than modules needs coldplug, since this is a coldplug bug.

Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
1. Compile a new kernel without module support (make sure you haven't compiled it with modules before)
2. Add coldplug to the boot runlevel
3. Reboot and watch.

Actual Results:  
Coldplug seems to expect that I have module support in my kernel.

Expected Results:  
Coldplug shouldn't care if I have module support in my kernel, since it has 
other uses than just loading modules.

What other uses than loading modules does coldplug offer?

What would you suggest happening instead?
Comment 2 Bjarke Istrup Pedersen (RETIRED) gentoo-dev 2005-05-07 08:35:35 UTC
The new pcmciautils package (not in portage yet) requires coldplug to work.
Don't ask me why it requires it.

Closed due to lack of info.
