Description of problem: # grep initscripts /var/log/yum.log 08/19/04 17:20:05 Updated: initscripts 7.62-1.i386 08/21/04 10:52:04 Updated: initscripts 7.64-1.i386 08/21/04 16:47:49 Updated: initscripts 7.66-1.i386 the problem exist since 20040821, i did not reboot between the updates 7.64/7.66 some modules in /etc/modprobe.conf are not loaded while booting. eg. bttv, snd-es1938, fdomain result: starting tvtime fails as user. as root: # modprobe bttv # modprobe snd-es1938 # tvtime all is ok as root but not as user after logout and new login as user tvtime works now as user Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): initscripts-7.64-1 ? initscripts-7.66-1 ! How reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. boot into kernel >= 2.6.8-1.525 2. login as user 3. start tvtime Actual Results: tvtime fails as user Expected Results: all modules should be loaded while booting like expected Additional info: this problem exist only with kernel >= 2.6.8-1.525 booting into <= 2.6.8-1.525 all is ok! # rpm -qa kernel | sort kernel-2.6.7-1.478 kernel-2.6.7-1.517 kernel-2.6.8-1.524 kernel-2.6.8-1.525 kernel-2.6.8-1.526
This is more likely to be due to udev than anyting else.
thanks, the last updates did not solved the problem, seems to be ok now with todays rawhide-updates 20040827 $ rpm -q kernel udev initscripts mkinitrd kernel-2.6.7-1.478 kernel-2.6.7-1.517 kernel-2.6.8-1.524 kernel-2.6.8-1.525 kernel-2.6.8-1.526 udev-030-7 initscripts-7.68-1 initscripts-7.70-1 mkinitrd-4.1.4-1 mkinitrd-4.1.6-1
initscripts-7.70 now loads modules on bootup; that's where the fix is (most likely).
