<Md> joeyh: I remember talking about #398962 with waldi, IIRC platform devices in recent kernels provide $MODALIAS while they should not. so udev will always try loading again the driver after it has been loaded <Md> I suppose I could add a workaround in udev since I do not know about any platform driver which provides a meaningful $MODALIAS <fjp> Md: Has there been a discussion with kernel developers about that? Will/has it been fixed in later kernels? <Md> fjp: no clue. somebody should ask greg k-h but I am too much busy these days <joeyh> Md: afaics, there's no way udev can autoload that pcmcia bridge driver .. would just blacklisting it in udev make sense? Is there a way to blacklist it that doesn't blacklist it from modprobe? <Md> joeyh: try adding in hotplug.rules, as the third line: SUBSYSTEM=="platform", GOTO="hotplug_driver_loaded" <Md> IIRC it uses SUBSYSTEM=="platform", double check the log if needed <joeyh> ok, that works, tested in d-i <Md> I will add the workaround to the next upload <joeyh> I imagine a more targeted rule that also matches the driver would also work <joeyh> at least for this one module.. dunno about other platform modules.. <Md> all platform drivers have this problem, the bug is in the drivers core -- see shy jo
