2011-05-31Revert "udev: generate blacklist on boot"Tom Gundersen1
This reverts commit 99d64f5789f01243903be4b32078ec38bdce75fa. We decided not to provide a compatibility layer, but rather require the user to create blacklist files in /etc/modprobe.d manually. Hence, this is no longer needed. The reason was that the compatibliy would not be 1-to-1, so it might be missleading to pretend that it was. Also, most people should not need the blacklisting in the first place. Conflicts: Makefile Signed-off-by: Tom Gundersen <teg@jklm.no>
2011-05-19udev: generate blacklist on bootTom Gundersen1
udev will read /etc/modprobe.d/*.conf and blacklist all modules that are listed as blacklist <module> We parse rc.conf at boot and generate such a .conf file. It cannot be written to /etc this early, so we save it to /run. A symlink exists in /etc to get the desired functionality. With this patch (and an analogous one in mkinitcpio) load-modules.sh can be removed from the udev package without loss of significant functionality. Setting MOD_AUTOLOAD will then no longer take effect, nor will kernel parameters. Thouhgh, kernel parameters might still affect the initramfs as the implementation is independent.
