[gentoo-user] baselayout 2 module arguments

[gentoo-user] baselayout 2 module arguments

[William Kenworthy]

I am trying to get an argument passed to a kernel module - it works like
below but not using the /etc/conf.d/modules file.

insmod
/lib/modules/3.8.13-gentoo/kernel/drivers/media/usb/em28xx/em28xx.ko
card="46"

In /etc/conf.d/modules I have
module_em28xx_args="card=46"


The only odd bit is its a qemu vm using usbip to connect to the usb
stick on another PC but it works manually (at least the card bit ...)

Have I made a mistake with the card arguments somehow thats not obvious?

Have you tried to add module options in /etc/modprobe.d/ directory?  e.g. 
create a file em28xx.conf and add in it:

options em28xx card=46

Brilliant, thanks Mick.  I am using the latest baselayout 2 and was
going by its instructions (which dont work) and didn't think to use the
old way.

Now I have a video0, but no /dev/dvb so thats the next hurdle to be
tackled tomorrow.

Thanks,
BillK

You could be right ... but google makes no mention of firmware being
required. I'll look into it tonight.

The usb stick I have firmware for loads it and then dies (a usbip
problem I think, resets after load)
