udev, snd_hda_intel and udevtrigger

TimoSchmid · 08-04-2008, 08:18 AM

Hello,
I installed debian lenny on my Notebook.
I replaced devfs with udev.
Now the driver snd_hda_intel is not loaded automatically on startup.
As soon as I do

Code:

# udevtrigger

the module is loaded automatically.
What am I missing?
uname: 2.6.25-2-amd64 #1 SMP Mon Jul 14 11:05:23 UTC 2008 x86_64

Thanks for your help in advance

I am surprised debian lenny offers the option of devfs which is, I think, deprecated now.

Sometimes I'm a "Just force it to work" sort of person. So I'd just put

udevtrigger

at the end of the file /etc/rc.local just before the final exit(0)
Then reboot.

Other people will probably offer more elegant solutions.
If you'd like to research a more elegant solution, you could start by reading up on hotplug, coldplug and udev

And "Welcome to LQ!"

Probably that's because I updated from etch, and as soon as I realized it, I was to lazy to download the whole CD-Image and reinstall again.

I see, I am too.

That's even a better workaround than I did: I put it in KDE's autostart.

Always keep on reading. How true!

Anyway, if somebody knows an even more right way to fix this, I'd apreciate your hints!
