devfsd-1.3.25-r2 seems to cause errors about modules not found to appear at boot. These errors seems to unaffect the system. There's a thread about this here: http://forums.gentoo.org/viewtopic.php? t=40567 I am going to submit more informations when I'll be able to do some tests on my system. Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. 2. 3. At boot I got this: * Setting system clock to hardware clock [Local Time]... [ok] modprobe: Can't locate module /dev/rtc [ok] modprobe: Can't locate module /dev/misc/rtc [ok] modprobe: Can't locate module /dev/rtc [ok] modprobe: Can't locate module /dev/misc/rtc [ok]
Created attachment 9264 [details] log snippet..modprobe errors only
I get the same problem here with -r1 and -r2 which utilize that modprobe shutup patch, both of those versions filling up the boot screen and my logs with errors,have reverted to 1.3.25 and have no errors...seems to me that the dir aliases in modules.devfs are being modprobed for some reason, instead of being aliased like theyre written..attaching log snippet with just modprobe errors,ignore char-major-226..thats an xfree error I havent bypassed yet:)
This is on a 2.4 kernel, right ?
Yes 2.4 kernel...latest lolo-sources _pre4 I believe..same errors with pre3 pre2 and 2.4.20.1...the errors only occur on the patched devfsd, for me atleast.
gentoo-sources-2.4.19-r10 with devfsd-1.3.25-r1/r2.
also on vanilla 2.4.20 devfsd 1.3.25-r2
Oki, doki. I will try something else then to get modprobe from module-init-tools not to biatch so much when devfsd starts.
I get this problem using vanilla-sources 2.4.20 using modutils, not module-init-tools. I notice it only on startup.
r1 and r2 are equal (diff) The difference between r1 and r2 is a line in devfsd-1.3.25-shutup-modprobe.patch. r1 worked for me, r2 not and the version without any r works for me too.
I am having the same errors during boot up of the system, except when fully booted to the login prompt, the machine briefly pauses, before rebooting! This could be a different problem causing the reboot though, as I have been unable to track down the cause of the problem.
I also have this problems with devfs. After first time update to devfs 1.3.25-r2 I got error for gpm modules and ttyP0. After second reboot I only had /dev/ttyP0 module error. but it doesn't seem to affect the system at all at the moment (thought I haven't tried it in graphical enivorments yet). kernel is 2.4.20-gentoo-r1
Fixed with -r3.
Using devfsd 1.3.25-r3; module-init-tools 0.9.10-r4 and kernel 2.5.65, it stills gives loads of error messages at boot-time. Looks like all aliases are being modprobed. I feel the bug has not been fixed 100%

If you are using 2.5 kernels, you *should* use baselayout-1.8.6.4, else you will get loads of error messages.
Thanks for that baselayout hint, Martin. It does reduce the number of errors, but still, this is "selective reading" from my syslog at boot time using baselayout 1.8.6.4: Mar 21 22:29:16 rob1 modprobe: FATAL: Module /dev/:0 not found.

Am I wrong in seeing some similarity with the bug described in this big report? Thanks again, AE
comment to last comment :-) big report = bug report
Please make sure that you have ONLY the following installed: # emerge epm # epm -q devfsd module-init-tools modutils baselayout package modutils is not installed devfsd-1.3.25-r3 module-init-tools-0.9.10-r4 baselayout-1.8.6.4-r1 # Also, you should get: # modprobe -C /etc/modprobe.devfs /dev/foo # Note that there was no error.
Right, so maybe I didn't check my last comment :P I recieved a pre version of module-init-tools from Rusty to test changes he did after I sent over some patches from our tree, and on that I based the latest -be-quiet-for-devfsd.patch. # epm -q module-init-tools module-init-tools-0.9.11_pre1 Hopefully 0.9.11 will be out soon, and that will resolve this issue for you. If not, I will have a look at adding 0.9.11_pre1.
