[ARMedslack] R: Trouble with udev on busybox based system

[Davide]

Ok ... I started udevd with --debug and dumped stderr to somewhere I could read it. This is what came out (the intresting part):
5584.430610 [1032] udev_rules_apply_to_event: RUN '/sbin/modprobe -bv $env{MODA
LIAS}' /lib/udev/rules.d/80-drivers.rules:5
5584.430746 [1032] util_run_program: '/sbin/modprobe -bv usb:vFFEEp0100d0100dc0
0dsc00dp00ic08isc06ip50' started
5584.435842 [1032] util_run_program: '/sbin/modprobe' (stderr) '/sbin/modprobe:
 invalid option -- 'b''
5584.459928 [1032] util_run_program: '/sbin/modprobe' (stderr) 'BusyBox v1.18.4

5584.460090 [1032] util_run_program: '/sbin/modprobe' (stderr) ' multi-call bin

5584.460178 [1032] util_run_program: '/sbin/modprobe' (stderr) ''

5584.460278 [1032] util_run_program: '/sbin/modprobe' (stderr) 'modprobe'
5584.460379 [1032] util_run_program: '/sbin/modprobe' (stderr) ' '
5584.460464 [1032] util_run_program: '/sbin/modprobe' (stderr) '[-qfwrsv] MODUL

5584.460489 [1032] util_run_program: '/sbin/modprobe' (stderr) ''
5584.460509 [1032] util_run_program: '/sbin/modprobe' (stderr) 'Options:'
5584.460530 [1032] util_run_program: '/sbin/modprobe' (stderr) '        -r
        Remove MODULE (stacks) or do autoclean'
5584.460550 [1032] util_run_program: '/sbin/modprobe' (stderr) '        -q

It looks like udev is modprobing with options busybox modprobe does not understand.

Is this stuff hard coded in the source or is it in some script ?

David
