Re: order of call to built-in modules

HI, The macros module_init() and module_exit() are used both in case a source is built-in (the code is called from the init stage) or as a kernel module (implementing a init_module symbol).

In case 2 of /built-in/ modules  I am wondering if it is possible to know by advance the order used to call the various module_init() entry points. Is it possible to fix this order? rgs,

If I recall correctly, the order is given by the Makefile, so to have a driver being initialized before another one, you have to remangle your Makefile tree to match the order you want. Hope it helps. bye -- -gaspa-
