unloading non-essential modules: SOLVED

[Gfunk]

I have been trying to unload non-essential modules that are loaded on startup with hfw 1.2.2 by lewy. I have tried rmmod and modprobe -r with no success. I have even gone into the lib/modules directory and still the modules will not unload. Does anyone know where the script is located that pre-loads the modules upon startup? Usually I use a script in init.d for all my modules but I didnt see a 01xxxx script there.

I was just thinking that maybe perhaps kernel module unloading is not configured in the kernel .config for wassers kernels. Checking .config for support...

Unloading support is built into the kernel:

CONFIG_MODULES=y
# CONFIG_MODULE_FORCE_LOAD is not set
CONFIG_MODULE_UNLOAD=y
CONFIG_MODULE_FORCE_UNLOAD=y

SOLVED.

I had to create a directory named "3.0.36+" in /system/lib/modules now all modules will load and unload successfully with modprobe and rmmod

Good you found solution for your problem.
For now all modules are insmoded from boot.img init.rc.

For anyone who is interested If you want to load and unload modules with modprobe just create the 3.0.36+ directory in modules then symlink /system/lib/modules with /system/lib/modules/3.0.36+ or just copy all your*.ko files to 3.0.36+
