Hello.

I see at the moment that OpenRC's module script loads ONLY the modules
that match the first variable found in "$KV",
$KV_MAJOR.$KV_MINOR.$KV_MICRO, $KV_MAJOR.$KV_MINOR, then $modules. I
am wondering if this behavior could be changed so as to load ALL the
modules that match a given kernel version (e.g. a kernel named
linux-2.6.31 would load modules from linux-2.6.31, 2.6.31, 2.6 and
modules). I think this would be very useful so as to avoid duplication
in the /etc/conf.d/modules file.

I am using OpenRC 0.6.0, on Gentoo Linux.

A possible patch is attached from the Gentoo mailing list (originally
from Renat Golubchyk).

Thanks.

Trevor
