0.9 Release of module-init-toolsThis release needs depmod again, which should help speed for those ofyou with 1300 modules.  A replacement depmod is provided, since theprevious one gets rightfully confused by 2.5.47+ kernels.  You willrequire a small kernel patch to 2.5.50 (see below) for PCI and USBtables to work.Also included is modules.conf2modprobe.conf, which is fairlysimplistic but should get most people up and running.  This will beenhanced as new features go into the new modprobe.Some dummy options are implemented, and "modprobe -c" is implementedtoo, which should help Mandrake and RedHat's init scripts deal withthe change.Many thanks to those who provided patches, bug reports, and copies oftheir init scripts.  Your feedback is greatly appreciated!Please report any bugs to rusty@rustcorp.com.au.Thanks!Rusty.diff -urNp --exclude TAGS -X /home/rusty/current-dontdiff --minimal linux-2.5.50/include/linux/module.h working-2.5.50-table/include/linux/module.h--- linux-2.5.50/include/linux/module.h	Mon Nov 25 08:44:18 2002+++ working-2.5.50-table/include/linux/module.h	Thu Nov 28 10:59:39 2002@@ -14,6 +14,7 @@ #include <linux/cache.h> #include <linux/kmod.h> #include <linux/elf.h>+#include <linux/stringify.h>  #include <asm/module.h> #include <asm/uaccess.h> /* For struct exception_table_entry */@@ -40,11 +40,14 @@ struct kernel_symbol  #ifdef MODULE -#define MODULE_GENERIC_TABLE(gtype,name)	\-static const unsigned long __module_##gtype##_size \-  __attribute__ ((unused)) = sizeof(struct gtype##_id); \-static const struct gtype##_id * __module_##gtype##_table \-  __attribute__ ((unused)) = name+/* For replacement modutils, use an alias not a pointer. */+#define MODULE_GENERIC_TABLE(gtype,name)			\+static const unsigned long __module_##gtype##_size		\+  __attribute__ ((unused)) = sizeof(struct gtype##_id);		\+static const struct gtype##_id * __module_##gtype##_table	\+  __attribute__ ((unused)) = name;				\+extern const struct gtype##_id __mod_##gtype##_table		\+  __attribute__ ((unused, alias(__stringify(name))))  /* This is magically filled in by the linker, but THIS_MODULE must be    a constant so it works in initializers. */
