I think your solution is just an approach. For example, modules may be loaded and unloaded dynamically or on demand. Thus, the list of modules currently loaded may not be sufficient for a fully working system. One should try to make use of all devices on his/her system at least to make sure all modules have been loaded. And still is doesn't guarantee anything, imho. But I'm not an expert, just a newbie. So don't beat me much:) -- To unsubscribe from this list: send an email with "unsubscribe kernelnewbies" to ecartis@xxxxxxxxxxxx Please read the FAQ at http://kernelnewbies.org/FAQ
