Because of that you have to load modules in the appropriate order by hand. You can automate that with script. Actually, such sort automation has been already done - it is modprobe utility (see man modprobe for details) . The main idea of MODPOST step is generating modules dependency. It is quite simple text file, so you can edit it by hand. AFAIR there was issue with MODPOST when cross compiling was used. P.S. Sorry for my weak English. _______________________________________________ Kernelnewbies mailing list Kernelnewbies@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx http://lists.kernelnewbies.org/mailman/listinfo/kernelnewbies
