Alsa is in current...
there's even a package with the precompiled driver modules.

I'd guess it's in preparation for the 2.6 kernel?

And Pat even blacklisted the OSS modules in the hotplug config so ALSA
modules are loaded instead.

I really like ALSA. :-)

If he adds the module-init-tools and sets something up to have it switch
between them and modutils... start lookin' for that 2.6.0testx stuff
:-)

AFAICS, there is no need to switch between them as module-init-tools are
backward compatible (at least in my experience). The "modutils" should
be preserved as, e.g., insmod.old (there is a installation step that does
this when installing module-init-tools). modules.conf remains unchanged,
as module-init-tools use modprobe.conf (modules.conf can be converted by
generate-modprobe.conf). In terms of a Slackware package, what would be
needed is a package containing the moved-aside "old" utils and the new
module-init-tools stuff.

The rc.modules does not need to be changed, in my experience, as long as
modules loaded in that file are available for both kernels. (I don't load
much in rc.modules, BTW, so YMMV. I.e. there might be some "magic" needed
for modules that only exist in 2.4, like -in my particular case -
i810_audio in 2.4.x and snd_intel8x0 in 2.6.0-test, if you insist on loading
them in rc.modules).

So far, hotplug hasn't bitten me either in my "dual boot setup" with
kernels 2.4.22 and 2.6.0-test4.

So I think, there shouldn't be too much of a problem of whipping something
up.

Have fun,
Martin

module-init-tools has now made it into slackware-current

Thu Sep 4 19:40:01 PDT 2003
a/module-init-tools-0.9.14pre2-i486-1.tgz:
Added module-init-tools-0.9.14-pre2. Also contains modutils-2.4.25
installed
for compatibility with both Linux 2.4.x and 2.6.x.
I think we're now 2.6.x ready. :-)

Yep, saw it.

Aren't the module-init-tools backward compatible?

Although 2.6.0 has some great advantages, I'd prefer Pat to stick
to 2.4.x for now. And leave 2.6.x for the hobbyists (like me!). Just to
keep the standard Slackware stabler.

ps. Trim your posts.

Any other work besides the module-init tools

Documentaion/Changes has some notes about:
* Until-linux and different mount options
* Module-Init-Tool is bkwd compatible with 2.4.x
* mkinitrd needs to be upgraded due to lib/modules tree layout
* PCMCIA-cs partially implimented in kernel.
* "something" out netfilter and it being distributed seperately...
anyone know what they are talking about? What's up with that?

So what I'm getting at is can we have a choice in the -current?
Might be a problem with rc.d scripts.
