1812	modprobe.conf rules need full path to modprobe while booting	dbn.lists@…	dnicholson@…	"Following the example modprobe rule [http://www.linuxfromscratch.org/lfs/view/development/chapter07/udev.html#id3696711 here] results in failures like these:

{{{
Jun  9 18:19:29 silky kernel: snd_ac97_codec: Unknown symbol snd_interval_refine
Jun  9 18:19:29 silky kernel: snd_ac97_codec: Unknown symbol snd_pcm_hw_rule_add
Jun  9 18:19:29 silky kernel: snd_ymfpci: Unknown symbol snd_ac97_resume
Jun  9 18:19:29 silky kernel: snd_ymfpci: Unknown symbol snd_pcm_new
}}}

Here is the modprobe rule:

{{{ install snd-pcm modprobe -i snd-pcm; modprobe snd-pcm-oss }}}

Running manually after boot showed now problems.  Finally I realized that the problem was that modprobe was not actually being run at boot, so the snd-pcm module wasn't being loaded.  Adding the full path to /sbin/modprobe in /etc/modprobe.conf solved the problem."	defect	closed	normal	6.2	Book	SVN	major	fixed	modprobe
