Description nathanael (reporter) 2009-12-31 01:28:11 UTC

SOFTWARE VERSION:
Kernel 1.2009.42-11.002

EXACT STEPS LEADING TO PROBLEM: 
Adding a module to "/etc/modules" should auto modprobe that module.

EXPECTED OUTCOME:
Modules in /etc/modules are loaded

ACTUAL OUTCOME:
Nothing happens

REPRODUCIBILITY:
Always

OTHER COMMENTS:
1. New "upstart" system does not run the "/init.d/modules-init-tools" script or
anything in the rdS.d directory (which has a symlink to modules-init-tools).

2. modules-init-tools script is also broken and missing "/etc/default/rcS" file
it tries to include.  Adding a "empty" file fixes the problem.

To work around the issue you can add a new "modulename" file to /etc/event.d
adding (everything between the ----) replace modulename with the module you
want loaded at startup.
----
start on startup
exec modprobe modulename

Thanks for reporting this.
Confirming.

This will not be fixed for Maemo5, but is on the list for Maemo6.
