[gentoo-user] coldplug module autoloading, and module options

[Mike Williams]

Hey,

I've just finally figured out why I've not been able to get bonding working 
properly, after a 2 days messing about with Xen and bonding.
Looks like coldplug is loading the bonding module, after it's loading a nic 
driver.
This is a problem though, the bonding module needs arguments, which I've setup 
in /etc/modules.d/bond (as supplied by the ebuild), and modules-update'd.
If I remove the module after it's booted, and start the interface, the 
arguments get read correctly, as I've accessed bond0 the options to bonding 
for bond0 get applied.

Can I get coldplug to ignore a single module?
Or is there a better way? I can specify the arguments along with the module in 
modules.autoload, but I'd rather not, it doesn't feel right.

Thanks
