(Get the code!)
The problem is that the module has to be rebuilt at every reboot of the system. The system does not remember the same module of the same kernel.
Real World situation:
Every day that I go to work I need to run a virtual machine on my laptop.
Every day when I start up the laptop I have to rebuild the kernel module (which takes 5-10 minutes).
In previous versions of Ubuntu when I would start the laptop (using the same kernel) the vitual machine would "just work"
Doing this every day has become a major irritator. The kernel module should only have to be built one time, when a kernel has changed... Ubuntu Lucid should keep the kernel module each time, so I don't have to rebuild every day.
I understand the need for speed (10 second from power off to desktop is excellent).
but I don't understand why an already built module is not rememberd by the current kernel
Thus this is still a bug.
