A broken module trying to load at startup


On boot up I get a load of error messages saying that a i810_RND module that's trying to load is borked and is probably due to an IRQ error.

dmegs has :

i810_rng: RNG not detected
i810_rng: RNG not detected
i810_rng: RNG not detected
i810_rng: RNG not detected
hub.c: new USB device 00:1d.1-2, assigned address 2
usb.c: USB device 2 (vend/prod 0xab0/0x1) is not claimed by any active driver.
i810_rng: RNG not detected
i810_rng: RNG not detected
i810_rng: RNG not detected
i810_rng: RNG not detected
i810_rng: RNG not detected
i810_rng: RNG not detected
i810_rng: RNG not detected

My system works fine without this module running.

These errors come after the 'Going Multiuser' warning so I guessed that the piece of code trying to execute it would be in rc.M, however rc.M is more like a link to several other init scripts.

I greped all the scripts in rc.d for a mention of i810, nothing came up.

No mention of it in modules.conf either.

Does anyone know where the script is that's trying to load this module and how I can get rid of it?

Cheers!

mostly a module gets loaded on demand from
the modules.conf

try running a depmod -a - this will recreate the
dependencies where u can find where the module is!

and

rc.X as you pointed out are links.

try adding "nousb" in the command line of kernel - seems there is something happening after the USB modules are being loaded.

depmod -a didn't change anything after a reboot.

I can't add nousb because I use a usb mouse and serveral other usb gizmos!
