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.
