Description of problem: the module asus_acpi is always loaded even I don't have a computer build by Asus. Machine is a IBM Thinkpad R52. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): Fedora 7 Test 2, Kernel 2.6.20-1.2949 How reproducible: always Steps to Reproduce: 1. install Fedora on a non-Asus-machine 2. 3. Actual results: asus_acpi is (unecessary?) loaded Expected results: asus_acpi should not be needed by non Asus-machines Additional info: I have this bug since Fedora Core 6 and on two different computers (IBM Thinkpad and a custom build Desktop PC). Both machines doesn't contain ANY parts made or build by Asus. So why this module is loading? It is quite annoying and I hope there is a good reason for this.
Bulk message: Fedora 7 test bugs should be filed against "devel", not against test1/2/3. This isn't obvious, I know. Moving this report so it isn't lost.
Thats actually more of a kernel question/bug, so reassigning it to proper component. Read ya, Phil
asus_acpi is always loaded because of this piece of /etc/rc.d/rc.sysinit: # Initialize ACPI bits if [ -d /proc/acpi ]; then for module in /lib/modules/$unamer/kernel/drivers/acpi/* ; do module=${module##*/} module=${module%.ko} modprobe $module >/dev/null 2>&1 done fi rc.sysinit is from the package "filesystem", owned by pknirsch
Is there a way to exclude a single kernel module like asus_acpi? Blacklisting the module via modprobe.conf does not work.
Actually, rc.sysinit is owned by initscripts, moving there. Read ya, Phil
This will be removed when the modules support proper dmi-based aliases - this is going upstream soon.
Based on the date this bug was created, it appears to have been reported against rawhide during the development of a Fedora release that is no longer maintained. In order to refocus our efforts as a project we are flagging all of the open bugs for releases which are no longer maintained. If this bug remains in NEEDINFO thirty (30) days from now, we will automatically close it. If you can reproduce this bug in a maintained Fedora version (7, 8, or rawhide), please change this bug to the respective version and change the status to ASSIGNED. (If you're unable to change the bug's version or status, add a comment to the bug and someone will change it for you.) Thanks for your help, and we apologize again that we haven't handled these issues to this point. The process we're following is outlined here: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/BugZappers/F9CleanUp We will be following the process here: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/BugZappers/HouseKeeping to ensure this doesn't happen again.
Having freshly installed Fedora 8 on a secondary computer it seems that this bug is fixed now. No module asus_acpi is shown via lsmod. That's like it should be.
Thanks for your update Okay to close this bug?
Sure, you can close this one. Didn't know if I can do this on my own. Thx Ronny
Changing version to '9' as part of upcoming Fedora 9 GA. More information and reason for this action is here: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/BugZappers/HouseKeeping
