Bug#284223: #284223: Raising the severity of this bug
severity 284223 serious
thanks
I've just encountered this bug myself on a freshly installed box.
This bug really leads to extremely ugly output to the console. Also, as it
causes modules that maybe _should_ be loaded to _not_ be loaded, it could
result in a broken system.
IMHO this makes the package 'unreleasable' with this bug which justifies
the level serious.
An example of what appears on the console:
<snip>
Detecting hardware: agpgart via-rhine piix megaraid usb-uhci
Loading agpgart module.
Loading -rhine module.
modprobe 2.4.26

List modules:
modprobe [-l ] [-C config ] [ -t type ] pattern
note: wildcard patterns should be escaped
Show configuration:
modprobe [-C config ] -c
Remove module(s) or autoclean:
modprobe [-C config ] -r [ module ...]
