I just put 1.99.5 (a.k.a. pre-2.0#5) on my system. Shortly after booting, I noticed that a couple of modules I load at boot-time with insmod had unloaded.
It seems that kerneld will automatically unload *any* module that hasn't been used, whether it was loaded by kerneld or not. E.g.
- /sbin/modprobe lp - do nothing for 60 seconds (or whatever your kerneld timeout is) - /sbin/lsmod reports that the module is gone
Is this intentional ? I usually load the special dosemu modules at boot-time, but now it seems that I will have to do it just before running dosemu ...
Using modules-1.3.69i, in case it matters.
