Add mechanism to load modules from flash

[limetech]

Create a /boot/modules directory where one could put compiled modules and scripts that are loaded/invoked when other modules are loaded at boot-time.  This would let one install non-stock drivers and invoke, e.g., elkay14's "script to enable sata devices".

i was problems with latest unraid with kernel 3.9.6 and drivers for DVB

i get error

 

sit2fe: Unknown symbol kmem_cache_alloc_trace (err 0)
sit2fe: Unknown symbol mcount (err 0)
DVB: Unable to find symbol sit2_attach()
cx23885[1]: frontend initialization failed
cx23885_dvb_register() dvb_register failed err = -22
cx23885_dev_setup() Failed to register dvb on VID_C
cx23885_dev_checkrevision() Hardware revision = 0xa5

 

Please from next build leave ENABLED option i kernel

 

CONFIG_FUNCTION_TRACER=y

 

Then DVB users dont will be must create own build - kernel, they can prepare modules outside and put to unraid for install after start

(without touching bzroot, kernel etc)

 

Thanks
