9604e1b8fc modprobe: emit "can't open 'modules.dep': (errno)" instead of "module not found"
*: s/can't open %s/can't open '%s'/, it's better to use same string.

ba1315d0fb modutils/*: rewrite by Timo Teras <timo.teras AT iki.fi>
- a lot faster (linear algorithmic complexity, smaller memory foot print)
- a lot smaller (the old code was overly complicated)
- loading of aliases is now module-init-tools compliant
- blacklisting is done correctly (-b option added)
- module argument quoting done right
- depmod now correctly generates modules.symbols and modules.alias

ae84b11467 modprobe: fix for blacklisting
The patch makes the order of the alias/blacklist in modprobe.conf 
irrelevant (like module-utils' modprobe). In first patch the alias had 
to be defined before the blacklist which caused problems because the 
modprobe.conf file is read before /lib/modules/*/modules.alias.

The attatched patch will mark the blacklisted module itself rather than 
trying to find the alias that points to the blacklisted module and test 
this flag later in the alias resolving stage.

"There seems to be a slight problem with the "mod_strcmp" function in
modprobe.c, it scans for the first occurence of the module name in the
"mod_path" variable and expects it to be the last path element. ie
/lib/modules/2.4.22-debug/kernel/fs/vfat in my example. The comparison
will always fail if mod_path contains another substring matching the
module name."

Robert McQueen wrote
"Although William Barsse's patch fixed mod_strcmp for 2.4 kernels, there
was a remaining problem which prevented it from working for me. I've
just tracked it down - when you enable kernel 2.6 module support it
hard-wired the extension to .ko instead of checking at runtime like the
other places where 2.4 differs from 2.6. The attached patch fixes this
for me."

03d8091859 Patch from Woody Suwalski:
Erik, I think we have met online some time ago when I was in Corel/Rebel
    Netwinder project....

Anyway, I would like to use BB on 2.6.0 initrd. 1.00-pre4 works OK, if
insmod is actually presented with a full path to the module. Otherwise -
problems (not to mention conflicts when 2.4 modutil is enabled)

Here are some patches for insmod and modprobe which try to walk around
the default ".o" module format for 2.2/2.4 modules (you have probably
noticed it is now .ko in 2.6 ;-)) Trying to steal as little space as
possible if 2.6 not enabled...

The modprobe is still not perfect on 2.6 - seems to be jamming on some
dependencies, but works with some (to be debugged). Anyway after the
patches it at least tries to work....

Will there be a 1.00-pre5 coming any time soon?

Thanks, Woody

Hey guys. I've found a bug in modprobe where it generates bad strings and
makes sytem calls with them. The following patch seems to have fixed the
problem. It is rather inherited elsewhere, as there seems to be incorrect
entries in the list which results in more dependencies than really exist for
a given call to mod_process. But, this patch prevents the bad text from
going to the screen. You will notice there are cases where lcmd goes
unmodified before calling system.

Please consider the following patch.

350733abb8 Busybox modprobe has a couple of irritating quirks:
- attempting to modprobe a module that is already loaded yields "Failed
to load module", whereas modutils quietly ignores such a request.

 - if a module genuinely can't be loaded due to missing symbols or
similar problems, modprobe doesn't produce any useful diagnostics
because the output from insmod has been redirected to /dev/null.

Here's a patch to address these issue

908e362133 Patch from Andrew Dennison:
I've had some issues with modprobe which I reported a few months ago. This
is still an issue so I decided to sort it out.

The attached diff includes the changes against the unstable cvs tree that
work for me.

Changes are:
mod_process() will report success if the module at the head of the list
loads successfully. It will also report success if any module unloads
successfully.
The net result being that modprobe will succeed in the cases outlined below.
I've also added error reporting to modprobe -r. Previously it would silently
fail (but report success) if the module could not be unloaded.
