Hallo,
After a zypper dup from 11.2 to 11.3, during boot time I see a lot of the following messages:
“WARNING: “include /etc/modprobe.d” is deprecated. Please use /etc/modprobe.d”
“WARNING: “include /etc/modprobe.conf.local” is deprecated. Please use /etc/modprobe.d”
I suppose that by removing the appropriate “include” statements from modprobe.conf will be OK. Is that correct?
I have a 11.2 system and I don’t have /etc/modprobe.conf. I suspect your system went though a previous update.
What you should do is move everything to /etc/modprobe.d. It contains .conf files with sequence numbers. Here’s what the man page has to say about modprobe.conf. It looks like that future version has arrived.
Because the modprobe command can add or remove more than one module,
due to module dependencies, we need a method of specifying what options
are to be used with those modules. All files underneath the /etc/mod-
probe.d directory which end with the .conf extension specify those
options as required. (the /etc/modprobe.conf file can also be used if
it exists, but that will be removed in a future version). They can
also be used to create convenient aliases: alternate names for a mod-
ule, or they can override the normal modprobe behavior altogether for
those with special requirements (such as inserting more than one mod-
ule).
OK, I will try to compare the .conf and the files under the .d directory and report back.
Well nothing. Something else is requesting the modmrobe. The messages are started just after the “quick boot” message.
Those “error” messages are not user-related.
It’s from some boot-processes (or modules) relating to modprobe.conf. AFAIK it’s fine for the user to ignore.
Developers should change their references (and most already did).
