From: Constant Brouerius van Nidek Subject: [opensuse] Several kernel modules not found at boot To: opensuse@opensuse.org Date: Friday, June 3, 2011, 9:38 AM On my computer I always had problems to get a read of temperatures, fan speed and voltages in e.g. gkrellm. After a lot of googling I found that there seemed to be a conflict in the region where acpi should do its work. In order to overcome this problem I had to use:

acpi_enforce_resources=lax

After the latest kernel upgrade of today I got five kernel modules which where not found. This was as usual.

modprobe: Module pata_sis not found. WARNING: no dependencies for kernel module 'pata_sis' found. modprobe: Module ata_generic not found. WARNING: no dependencies for kernel module 'ata_generic' found. modprobe: Module processor not found. WARNING: no dependencies for kernel module 'processor' found. modprobe: Module thermal not found. WARNING: no dependencies for kernel module 'thermal' found. modprobe: Module fan not found. WARNING: no dependencies for kernel module 'fan' found. Features:       block usb resume.userspace resume.kernel

Still curious I tried this time to boot without "acpi_enforce_resources=lax" included and much to my amazement temperatures, fan speeds and voltages where all shown in gkrellm.

Could somebody lighten me up what this controversial information about the kernel modules WARNING means in the real world? If above modules are not found, what am I using instead?

from my understanding it's when a driver/module is compiled as part of the kernel instead of a separate module that this happens. it can also be that the module isn't compiled at all(imo unlikely). it can also be an issue with the initrd. try rebuilding your initrd with mkinitrd -A ( i think that's the command but see which flag tells mkinitrd to make a large initrd with all the modules) I believe you can edit which modules should be loaded via yast /etc/sysconfig edior ( go system > kernel > initrd_modules) and i think it'll rebuild the initrd for you (easier way). -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org
