CRUX PPC

Hi all, and thank you very much for your work.
I installed succesfully crux ppc 2.6, compiled the kernel and i'm configuring the system.
Before start struggling with the net ;) i'm tryinfg to load therm_adt746x at startup without much success.
I can modprobe it, and see the output with dmesg, but editing /etc/rc.modules i don't see it at startup. Any idea how to start it? Sorry i know it's a very simple question but i'm stucked here.

Thank you very much for any suggestion

Enrico

p.s.

my /etc/rc.modules is:

/sbin/depmod -a
/sbin/modprobe therm_adt746x fan_speed=66 limit_adjust=6

/etc/rc.modules is run at every startup and your one is correct. You are able to pass these parametres only when therm_adt746x is compiled as module.


That's my /etc/rc.modules (iBook G4 Mid2005)


I think you already did it thus, if the module is loaded, you can see it in your dmesg:

Yes, i can see with dmesg your output after modprobing it, but it doesn't start with rc.modules.
I try to double check the kernel config and to recompile the kernel...

any idea about some conflicting setup that can invalidate rc.modules?
After all i can try to reinstall all saving all the configuration files if i'm not succesfull...

thank you

The initialization scripts used in CRUX (PPC) follow the BSD-style and are quite simple scripts.
/etc/rc.modules is directly called from /etc/rc (the system boot script) as you can read:

that simply checks if a /etc/rc.modules exists therefore runs it too.

I can only suppose, for a strange reason, your /etc/rc.modules has wrong permissions.

Bingo! I forgot to chmod +x after creating rc.modules, that was absent in my system.
Thank you very much

Ad majora
