NAME

       discover-modprobe.conf — configuration file for discover-modprobe(5)

Description

       discover-modprobe.conf  is  the  configuration  file  for  discover-modprobe,  which  is  responsible for
       retrieving and loading kernel modules.

              Warning:

              This file is a shell script, and as such is subject to a string  variable  assignment  syntax.  No
              space  is  allowed  between  the  variable name, the equal (=) sign, and the value(s) assigned. If
              multiple values are to be assigned, the list must be space-delimited with surrounding quotes.

       Two directives can be used in this file: types and skip. Both can be defined multiple times.

       types     This describes the classes of hardware that should be scanned and queried.

       skip      These modules should never be loaded. See the ``Files'' section for details  on  the  mechanism
                 for generating these entries automatically.

Files

       /var/lib/discover/crash
                 A  crash  file written and erased each time discover-modprobe attempts to load a module. If the
                 file lingers, the computer is assumed to have crashed while loading that module, and the module
                 name is added to discover-modprobe.conf as a module to skip in the future.
