Description Karsten Keil 2006-11-24 15:24:52 UTC
Since sk98lin is not longer recommended it should not be used, it is only for fallbacks if skge/sky2 makes trouble.
It is already listed in the modutils blacklist, but installation seems to ignore this. Maybe because it is in the initrd and the initial boot do not use this blacklist, so the first matching driver is load sk98lin is in alphabet before sky2 or skge ?

Hm, yes, libhd has indeed some hard coded sk98lin ids left.

But even removing those would not solve the problem because
sk98lin's ids are a subset of skge. So we would be back to random.
Comment 4 Christian Zoz 2006-11-27 12:19:22 UTC
Then respect the blacklist like modutils do. libhd did respect /etc/hotplug/blacklist in former days as well.
Comment 5 Steffen Winterfeldt 2006-11-27 13:14:08 UTC
as modprobe is not used, the blacklist has no effect (never did, btw)

I won't mess with it in 10.2 now
