 |
|
I have installed VirtualBox onto my system and have an odd issue. The modules are not loading by default, but there is a file to load them. When I use sudo to probe them manually, I get this.
| Code: |
libkmod: kmod_config_parse: /etc/modprobe.d/virtualbox.conf line 1: ignoring bad line starting with 'vboxdrv'
libkmod: kmod_config_parse: /etc/modprobe.d/virtualbox.conf line 2: ignoring bad line starting with 'vboxnetflt'
libkmod: kmod_config_parse: /etc/modprobe.d/virtualbox.conf line 3: ignoring bad line starting with 'vboxnetadp'
|
The file in question contains only three lines. Each line is the name of the module, nothing else. I know I can add the modules to /etc/conf.d/modules, but I would liek to figure this out first.

I understand modprobe.d, but I did not create the file and it is not loading the files on its own. It seems odd to have a file created which does not appear to do anything.

The modprobe.d man page states that
| Quote: | | The format of and files under modprobe.d is simple: one command per line, |
plus blank lines and comments.
The allowed commands are:
| Quote: | alias wildcard modulename
blacklist modulename
install modulename command...
options modulename option...
remove modulename command...
softdep modulename pre: modules... post: modules... |
From your post, I understand that you didn't put any command in your files, just a list of module names; this is not the right syntax, as the errors inform you. |
