[gentoo-user] udev-103 and blacklisting

[gentoo-user] udev-103 and blacklisting

[Marco Calviani]

Hi users,
    some days ago i've upgraded to udev-103 since it became stable.
However after this operation, as most of you know,
/etc/hotplug/blacklist stops working. There have been reportings on
this http://bugs.gentoo.org/show_bug.cgi?id=130766 but since now, no
reliable solution have been found (AFAIK).
However the problem is that the evbug module is loaded and it fills my
/var/log files with tons of

[.....]
evbug.c: Event. Dev: isa0060/serio0/input0, Type: 4, Code: 4, Value: 50

Any solution is envisaged for this?

Can you divert output to /dev/null?

Or cron a job that chops out all those errors?

PS apologies for the previous mail, I goofed up and hit the wrong button.

Those are good ideas, but i'm questioning how is it possible to mark
stable a so important package that has such "improvements" over the
previous stable one, without good amplification of the changes!!!!

There must be a solution for the blacklist other than those!

However thanks for your reply, i'll do that until a solution for the
problem is found!

Cheers,

But you need the evbug module? Otherwise, just delete it (or just don't
compile it at all).

FWIW, this should also get rid of it being loaded:

$ echo alias evbug off >> /etc/modules.d/my-aliases
$ update-modules

Hi Hans,

thanks this solution is working. Will this be the solution for the
future or a "blacklist" file will be reintroduced?

If you don't want udev to load any modules at all, you can set
RC_COLDPLUG=no in /etc/conf.d/rc. [1] This should restore the old udev
behavior, and you can then use modules.autoload.d/ to load whatever
modules you need.

For preventing specific modules from loading, the modules.d/ files are
the way to go.
