    [PATCH] Shut up about the damn modules already... · 11b26af7
    Rusty Russell authored
    In almost all distributions, the kernel asks for modules which don't
    exist, such as "net-pf-10" or whatever.  Changing "modprobe -q" to
    "succeed" in this case is hacky and breaks some setups, and also we
    want to know if it failed for the fallback code for old aliases in
    fs/char_dev.c, for example.
    
    Just remove the debugging message which fill people's logs: the
    correct way of debugging module problems is something like this:
    
    	echo '#! /bin/sh' > /tmp/modprobe
    	echo 'echo "$@" >> /tmp/modprobe.log' >> /tmp/modprobe
    	echo 'exec /sbin/modprobe "$@"' >> /tmp/modprobe
    	chmod a+x /tmp/modprobe
    	echo /tmp/modprobe > /proc/sys/kernel/modprobe
