Modules.
~~~~~~~~
- The in-kernel module loader got reimplemented.
- You need replacement module utilities from http://www.kernel.org/pub/linux/kernel/people/rusty/modules/(...)
- A backwards compatible set of module utilities is also available
from the same URL in RPM format.
- Debian sid users can 'apt-get install module-init-tools'
- Modules now free stuff marked with __init or __initdata.
- For Red Hat users, there's another pitfall in "/etc/rc.sysinit".
During startup, the script sets up the binary used to dynamically load
modules stored at "/proc/sys/kernel/modprobe". The initscript looks
for "/proc/ksyms", but since it doesn't exist in 2.5 kernels, the
binary used is "/sbin/true" instead.
This, eventually, will keep modules from working. Red Hat users will
have to patch the "/etc/rc.sysinit" script to set
"/proc/sys/kernel/modprobe" to "/sbin/modprobe", even
when "/proc/ksyms" doesn't exist.
