Re: [arch-general] hwdetect with kernel upgrade?

Hello,

A long time ago, I posted that with kernel upgrade, the module insertion hangs till I hit enter.

I ran hwdetect and updated the modules array, sans the standard acpi modules and it now works reliably every time. It can boot unattended now.

AFAIK, the module-names and functionality is prone to changes from kernel to kernel. Should we automatically run hwdetect or advise users to check it in case of kernel upgrade?

I thought you can do this already by setting MOD_AUTOLOAD="yes" in your rc.conf. DR
