Can you try with a more recent (1.6.0, or better yet, svn HEAD), please? |

Reminder sent to: langerth Did you try a more recent BusyBox: 1.6.0 or better yet, svn head? |

I have only checked the source and did not see any difference which would indicate a different handling regarding the problem! Please see: http://busybox.net/cgi-bin/viewcvs.cgi/branches/busybox_1_4_stable/modutils/insmod.c?p1=trunk%2Fbusybox%2Fmodutils%2Finsmod.c&rev=17401&r1=18933&r2=17401&diff_format=h [^] |

OK. I've checked the code, and, yes, it does behave correctly: From the man page for insmod from module_init_tools: ... SYNOPSIS insmod [filename] [module options ...] ... So insmod for 2.6 isn't supposed to have any option. So if you compile insmod to _not_ handle 2.4, then no option is accepted. Behavior is the same as mainstream insmod. Options are accepted for backward compatibility if you want to indifferently run on 2.4 and 2.6. |

Conforms to module_init_tools man page: no option is expected! |
