I recently switched to baselayout-2 on my Gentoo machine but I have one problem.
I autoload a module bttv with paramater: card=77,77
The problem is that at boot the module is loaded without the parameter which makes the video feed useless.
I cannot find the cause because the funny thing is that when I put an echo in /etc/init.d/modules to see what is passed to modprobe, this is what I got:
szymanowicz ~ # /etc/init.d/modules restart
* WARNING: you are stopping a boot service
* Caching service dependencies ... [ ok ]
* Loading module bttv ...
bttv card=77,77 [ ok ]
* Autoloaded 1 module(s)
It indicates that everything is OK, but dmesg shows that at boot time there are no parameters.
bttv0: using: *** UNKNOWN/GENERIC *** [card=0,autodetected]
...
bttv1: using: *** UNKNOWN/GENERIC *** [card=0,autodetected]
Whereas when I run it manually I get:
bttv0: using: GrandTec Multi Capture Card (Bt878) [card=77,insmod option]
...
bttv1: using: GrandTec Multi Capture Card (Bt878) [card=77,insmod option]
Please help me because reloading the modules every time there is a reboot is very anoying (not many reboots, but I need to remember about the module)
