kernel modules not loaded after dist-upgrade
hi,
i'm using the unstable distribution and with the last dist-upgrade
(about 440mb of packages) i chose xorg as replacement for xfree.
everything went fine except that it wouldn't start because the mouse
was not recognized. just a short nvidia logo and - boom - text console.
this was because of the psmouse and mousedev modules not being loaded
on bootup.
so i placed appropriate entries in /etc/modules but still they don't
get loaded on bootup. as a quick fix i created an initscript that is
executed as the last on bootup and this script executes
module-init-tools and executes kdm. this way it works.
what's up with module-init-tools? the symlink in rcS is correct, but
module-init-tools doesn't seem to get executed on boot or it is
affected by some other error.
this upgrade also updated udev (another udev problem once again?) and i
removed hotplug like the update process told me.
help appreciated,
oliver
