* Log modprobe commands in /var/log/ksymoops. This one's for Wichert.
* Revert to a single USB table format. USB maintainers will not support

completely drops support for USB device ids on kernel 2.4.0-prerelease
and earlier. If you are running a kernel before 2.4.0 and you still
want depmod support for USB tables on that earlier kernel, DO NOT
install modutils 2.4.2. If you are switching between 2.4.0 and earlier
kernels and you want USB support on old and new kernels then you have
to switch versions of modutils when you switch your kernel.
modutils. It goes to a lot of bother to support users on older kernels
and to ensure that any mix of new modutils and old kernels will work,
even down to kernel 2.0. The USB maintainers are refusing to support
USB on anything older than 2.4.0, without that support Linus will not
take my kernel patch that maintains backwards compatibility. So I have
no choice but to break backwards compatibility.
reboot after installing modutils 2.4.2.
semi-random symbol checksums, changing the order of include statements
could change the checksum. As a side effect of the fix, modules
compiled with symbol versions using genksyms < 2.4.2 may not match a
kernel compiled with genksyms >= 2.4.2 and vice versa. This correction
should only affect binary only modules.
