I also had trouble to interpret the message and because I was lazy I just |
| 28 |
added the kmod-static-nodes to the sysinit runlevel. |
| 29 |
|
| 30 |
After searching a bit I found that this was added due to bug #477856, but |
| 31 |
reading this as well as the release notes for kmod I am still not sure if |
| 32 |
this is needed in any case or just if there is a modular kernel etc. |
| 33 |
|
| 34 |
I am cc'ing one of the kmod maintainers maybe he can explain what is meant |
| 35 |
exactly. |
| 36 |

@Samuli: You have added the elog message to kmod-14-r1. Can you please give |
| 38 |
some more information about when kmod-static-nodes is required to be in the |
| 39 |
sysinit runlevel? Thanks in advance. |
