2003-12-19Patch from Woody Suwalski:Eric Andersen
Erik, I think we have met online some time ago when I was in Corel/Rebel Netwinder project.... Anyway, I would like to use BB on 2.6.0 initrd. 1.00-pre4 works OK, if insmod is actually presented with a full path to the module. Otherwise - problems (not to mention conflicts when 2.4 modutil is enabled) Here are some patches for insmod and modprobe which try to walk around the default ".o" module format for 2.2/2.4 modules (you have probably noticed it is now .ko in 2.6 ;-)) Trying to steal as little space as possible if 2.6 not enabled... The modprobe is still not perfect on 2.6 - seems to be jamming on some dependencies, but works with some (to be debugged). Anyway after the patches it at least tries to work.... Will there be a 1.00-pre5 coming any time soon? Thanks, Woody

Hey guys. I've found a bug in modprobe where it generates bad strings and makes sytem calls with them. The following patch seems to have fixed the problem. It is rather inherited elsewhere, as there seems to be incorrect entries in the list which results in more dependencies than really exist for a given call to mod_process. But, this patch prevents the bad text from going to the screen. You will notice there are cases where lcmd goes unmodified before calling system. Please consider the following patch. Thanks. -Steve

2003-09-08Busybox modprobe has a couple of irritating quirks:Glenn L McGrath
- attempting to modprobe a module that is already loaded yields "Failed to load module", whereas modutils quietly ignores such a request. - if a module genuinely can't be loaded due to missing symbols or similar problems, modprobe doesn't produce any useful diagnostics because the output from insmod has been redirected to /dev/null. Here's a patch to address these issue Patch by Philip Blundell

Hello all, This patch adds more "Help" text to the config system. Almost all applets now have a help entry. Also, I cleaned up the spacing of the existing text so that things are consistent. This patch is against this morning's CVS. Thomas Cameron CEI Systems, Inc.

2003-06-20Patch from Andrew Dennison:Eric Andersen
I've had some issues with modprobe which I reported a few months ago. This is still an issue so I decided to sort it out. The attached diff includes the changes against the unstable cvs tree that work for me. Changes are: mod_process() will report success if the module at the head of the list loads successfully. It will also report success if any module unloads successfully. The net result being that modprobe will succeed in the cases outlined below. I've also added error reporting to modprobe -r. Previously it would silently fail (but report success) if the module could not be unloaded. Andrew

2002-12-05Yet another major rework of the BusyBox config system, using the considerablyEric Andersen
modified Kbuild system I put into uClibc. With this, there should be no more need to modify Rules.mak since I've moved all the interesting options into the config system. I think I've got everything updated, but you never know, I may have made some mistakes, so watch closely. -Erik

2002-07-02David Frascone <dave@frascone.com> noticed two problems. First, modprobe wasEric Andersen
trying to call 'insmod -q', which wasn't supported. Secondly, when modprobe was fed blank lines from modules.dep, we ended up calling xstrndup(ptr, -1), which with suitably bad results. David provided a patch to catch the blank lines, and I have added insmod -q support. So modprobe should work again. -Erik
