Subject: modprobe: handle -ENOENT return from init_module
X-Git-Tag: v8~3
X-Git-Url: http://git.ipfire.org/?a=commitdiff_plain;h=ccb64d1eade3f9f0e325ba69de586dbd4bfb8241;p=thirdparty%2Fkmod.git

modprobe: handle -ENOENT return from init_module

init_module returns -ENOENT when the module failed to load because of a
bad parameter or unknown symbol. Throw a more descriptive error message
than the generic "No such file or directory" to alert the user.

Fixes Debian bug 668216.
