Welcome to IWETHEY!

New pcimodules
Where can I find this program?
-drl
New ...
What does it do... or what does it provide?

I personally have never heard of it.

Could this be a shortened pcmcia-modules reference?

It's part of hotplug for Linux. You only see it by its absence.

New Well... okay... I have hotplug for Linux
Even on machine without PCI hot-plug capacity... no pcimodules



Fully funstional with USB/firewire/pci/ata/ppa/memory/processor

Even on RedHat 9.0 and SlackWare 9.1... non-existant.

If you need it I have: hotplug_0.0.20031013.tar.gz

That is the latest version avilable last I checked.

New Right
I've got all that. A script is bitching at me about "pcimodules" - and it does get called in a legitimate context, from pci.rc in /etc/hotplug. I assume my system is misbehaving, but I'd like to see what happens when this program is around.

New Did you...
Did you install a Mandrake RPM on your SuSE box?

Cause the only thing I can find is:

[link|http://www.rpmfind.net//linux/RPM/mandrake/9.2/i586/Mandrake/RPMS/pciutils-2.1.11-4mdk.i586.html|pciutils-2.1.11-4mdk RPM for i586]

It is the only package I see with it, as well. Debian Sid has a newer version of pciutils. Not in there either.

Must be a new thing for them.

Well anyway Ross:

Thanks for noticing.
New !
Well no I didn't do that..

I'm thinking it's something old and unnecessary, but I can't understand what is triggering my installation to expect it (by the time the RPM install script is done, this thing is expected to exist.)

Other SuSE installs have never had this issue..

The thing is, pci hotplugging works fine with my PCI NIC. I just get sick of this boot message and don't approve of ripping things apart to make it behave a certain way.
