Summary:                    modprobe problem
Description: 
Hi

Since busybox 1.1 (now I use busybox snapshot), I can't do a modprobe !!!

For example when I want to modprobe lirc_dev, I have this:

modprobe: exec of insmod: invalid argument
modprobe: failed to load lirc_dev

Is it a known problem ?

I think I have found an issue

line 639 of modprobe.c

execvp(argv[0],argv[1]) and not execvp(argv[0],argv)


EDIT: nope I have always the same problem !!!!!

zepinkpanther, zaga,

What are your setups? Could you make sure PATH contains /sbin and is
exported?
