Fedora Core 3 is now maintained by the Fedora Legacy project for security updates only. If this problem is a security issue, please reopen and reassign to the Fedora Legacy product. If it is not a security issue and hasn't been resolved in the current FC5 updates or in the FC6 test release, reopen and change the version to match. Thank you! Closing per lack of response to previous request for information. This bug was originally filed against a much earlier version of Fedora Core, and significant changes have taken place since the last version for which this bug is confirmed. Note that FC3 and FC4 are supported by Fedora Legacy for security fixes only. Please install a still supported version and retest. If it still occurs on FC5 or FC6, please reopen and assign to the correct version. Otherwise, if this a security issue, please change the product to Fedora Legacy. Thanks, and we are sorry that we did not get to this bug earlier. |
From Bugzilla Helper: User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; rv:1.7.3) Gecko/20041001 Firefox/0.10.1 Description of problem: My modprobe.conf has a fairly long "install" script for one of its modules, so as per the modprobe.conf manpage, I've split into 3 lines using the trailing '\' syntax. It appears that to some extent kudzu is able to recognize these lines, since in many of them it simply collapsed the '\' out and joined the lines (making the file messy again). However, this behavior isn't completely consistent, and sometimes it inserts its own stuff _between_ lines that should have been joined, leading to syntax errors next time modprobe is called. Example before: alias eth0 forcedeth alias scsi_hostadapter sata_sil alias snd-card-0 snd-intel8x0 options snd-card-0 index=0 install snd-intel8x0 /sbin/modprobe --ignore-install snd-intel8x0 && /usr/sbin/alsactl restore >/dev/null 2>&1 || : remove snd-intel8x0 { /usr/sbin/alsactl store >/dev/null 2>&1 || : ; }; /sbin/modprobe -r --ignore-remove snd-intel8x0 alias usb-controller ehci-hcd alias usb-controller1 ohci-hcd alias ieee1394-controller ohci1394 alias char-major-195* nvidia alias char-major-61* lirc_streamzapusb alias ath0 ath_pci alias irda0 irport options irport io=0x3f8 irq=4 install irport /bin/setserial /dev/ttyS0 uart none && \ /sbin/modprobe --ignore-install irport && \ /usr/sbin/irattach irda0 -d actisys && \ /bin/echo roku >> /proc/sys/net/irda/devname remove irport /usr/bin/killall irattach && \ /sbin/rmmod irport && \ /bin/setserial /dev/ttyS0 autoconfig Then, when kudzu finds my atheros card and configures it: alias eth0 forcedeth alias scsi_hostadapter sata_sil alias snd-card-0 snd-intel8x0 options snd-card-0 index=0 install snd-intel8x0 /sbin/modprobe --ignore-install snd-intel8x0 && /usr/sbin/alsactl restore >/dev/null 2>&1 || : remove snd-intel8x0 { /usr/sbin/alsactl store >/dev/null 2>&1 || : ; }; /sbin/modprobe -r --ignore-remove snd-intel8x0 alias usb-controller ehci-hcd alias usb-controller1 ohci-hcd alias ieee1394-controller ohci1394 alias char-major-195* nvidia alias char-major-61* lirc_streamzapusb alias ath0 ath_pci alias irda0 irport options irport io=0x3f8 irq=4 install irport /bin/setserial /dev/ttyS0 uart none && /sbin/modprobe --ignore-install irport && \ alias eth1 ath_pci /usr/sbin/irattach irda0 -d actisys && /bin/echo roku >> /proc/sys/net/irda/devname remove irport /usr/bin/killall irattach && /sbin/rmmod irport && \ /bin/setserial /dev/ttyS0 autoconfig Note the placement of that "alias eth1" is right in the middle of the "install irport"! Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): kudzu-1.1.95-1 How reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. Create a modprobe.conf with entries similar to above 2. Remove an entry from /etc/sysconfig/hwconf (to ket kudzu to insert something in modprobe.conf) 3. Run kudzu Actual Results: Broken modprobe.conf Expected Results: Functional (and hopefully readabled) modprobe.conf Additional info:
