[SOLVED] KVMFR module loading too early since kernel update

[gorg86]

Hello,

Since the update to gentoo-kernel-6.19.10 the kvmfr module gets loaded too early which results in /etc/modprobe.d/kvmfr.conf being ignored. During boot I get an error that KVMFR is already loaded.
I have to rmmod and modprobe again for it to be functional.
How can I find out what is causing this?

edit:
I'm using ugrd and I think some kernel install script is doing stuff it's not supposed to do.

edit2:
yes, ugrd is enshittifying my initramfs

Code: Select all

INFO     | Init kernel modules: dm_crypt, nvme, qla4xxx, kvmfr, vfio_pci, cxgb3, be2iscsi
INFO     | Included kernel modules: vfio_pci_core, nvme_core, vfio_iommu_type1, iommufd, nvme_keyring, mdio, hkdf, nvme_auth, libiscsi, vfio, iscsi_boot_sysfs, realtek, irqbypass, scsi_transport_iscsi

This is way too much and BAD for passthrough setups.

edit 3:
I put this into my config.toml:

Code: Select all

kmod_ignore = [
"kvmfr"
]

It works like normal again.
I'll try messing around with the vfio modules later on. If it gets rid of the reset bug, then we should update the wikis (or at least put a note in there).

what is that module? I don't see it on my system, is it for some pci device? You may be able to disable the lspci detection (i plan to make that not enabled by default but want to be sure storage drivers etc are properly detected)

That should probably be in some default mask but I don't know where.

I may also make a toggle for ugrd to pull modprobe config, but ideally stuff like this (not needed in the initramfs) is not included unless necessary. Ignoring this explicitly or disabling the detection mechanism that finds it are the two best options with the current stable version.
