For some reason I've never before had to fool with update-modules |
2 |
because all my needed kernel modules just load by magic when I boot. |
3 |
|
4 |
Now I'm fiddling with a virtualbox gentoo guest on a gentoo host, |
5 |
and the vboxvideo kernel module is not loading 'by magic' in the |
6 |
guest machine. |
7 |
|
8 |
So, how to do it? When I edit /etc/conf.d/modules to include the |
9 |
vboxvideo module and run update-modules -f -v I see: |
10 |
|
11 |
"No need to generate modprobe.conf |
12 |
Skipping /etc/modprobe.conf generation (generate-modprobe.conf |
13 |
doesn't exist)" |
14 |
|
15 |
True enough, generate-modprobe.conf doesn't exist any longer on |
16 |
my ~x86 and ~amd64 machines. |
17 |
|
18 |
I'm running openrc-0.8.2-r1, baselayout-2.0.3, and module-init-tools- |
19 |
3.16-r1. |

Which HOWTO do I need to read to get myself up-to-date :) |

Many thanks for any clues. |
