2.6.0: module char_10_135

2.6.0: module char_10_135

[Russell Whitaker]

During boot-up, and just after the setting the clock line, noticed the
following line:

modeprobe: FATAL: module char_10_135 not found

First noticed this a few revisions ago. The contents of directory
/lib/modules/2.6.0-test3-bk8/kernel/drivers/char:

agp/  genrtc.ko  hw_random.ko  lp.ko  rtc.ko

hmm, long shot, but perhaps this bug is related to not auto-loading
module lp?

Minor 135 is rtc.

Do you have module-init-tools installed?

Indeed.  If it's any help, my rtc's working fine under 2.6.0 (test-4) with...

alias char-major-10-135 rtc

...in my /etc/modprobe.conf.

That was the latest version I could find on Aug 3rd. Please let me know
if there is a later version I should try.

Thanks,

Check the order of calls during boot.  In most cases, the rtc will be
required before modules are setup -- /proc/sys/kernel/modprobe isn't
set yet.

**update**  Had written the following and then updated to 2.6.0-test4-bk8
and found the module_char_10_135 problem has gone away.

Had changed "Enhanced Real Time Clock" from module to built-in so next
itteration will change it back and check it out. In the meanwhile here's
a recap of what I've done:

Started with a Slackware 9.0 installation, booting kernel 2.4.xx.
Custom kernel, these (amoung others) are modules: lp, floppy, and
"Enhanced Real Time Clock". Have this line in fstab so can mount floppy
as user:
  /dev/fd0   /mnt/floppy   auto   noauto,user

Everything works as expected. Then kernel-2.6 came out. So I "cp /vmlinuz
/vmlinuz.4", changed lilo's first entry to lin6, adding 2nd entry lin4,
installed lilo, edited lilo.config to change the 2nd vmlinuz to vmlinuz.4
and recycled lilo.
