Re: hd-media iso-scan finds usable iso's but still fails, modprobe: invalid option -- 'l'

[Oliver Riesener <Oliver.Riesener@hs-bremen.de>]

Hi Sander,

there is a transitional from package module-init-tools (squezze with 
modprobe -l) to kmod package (whezzy/jessie) modprobe without -l).

So your syslinux iso-scan / main-menu should be adjusted.

cd /lib/modules/`uname -r`; find . -name \*.ko | sed 's,^./,,'

Regards

Olri
