Mindi does not find (some) needed kernel modules — at Initial Version

Description

Mindi has a problem with finding loaded kerne modules:

If the module name is not "like" the module _file_ name (yes, there are differences!), mindi will not load/pack this module to the boot image

Example:
lsmod -> 3w_XXXX
module name -> 3w-XXXX.ko

So at first I've changed mindi like this;

--- mindi-1.06-10 2006-04-26 13:10:03.000000000 +0200
+++ mindi 2006-04-26 13:10:09.000000000 +0200
@@ -1041,3 +1041,7 @@
for module in $module_list $EXTRA_MODS ; do
- r=`find /lib/modules/$kern -type f | grep "/${module}\..*o" | tail -n1`
tail -n1`
+ r=`/sbin/modprobe -l $module`
echo "module $module --> $r" >> $LOGFILE

This was good enougth to get mindi finding this module. But in some other functions of mindi the problem with the module name still exists.

So it seems to be more than just this line, I'll open this as a bug here and I'm sure, you'll be faster in fixing it. ;)

Note: this problem is announced to novell under #169688 for their suse linux products, too.
