Suse 6.3 installation doesn't seem to autoload modules on kernel request. I took a look at boot scripts and found out it doesn't load kerneld. There's a doc file saying something about kmod, but i found no way to make it work. Does anyone know something about it and its use?
Apologies for the late reply... kerneld was the module loader used for the 2.0.x series of kernels. Now with the 2.2.x series of kernels modules are usually loader by the kernel module loader, which is compiled right into the kernel. kerneld is actually more fully featured that the kernel module loader, but for most people the extra features aren't necessary. The SuSE kernel does have module support compiled into the kernel, so if that is what you are using there shouldn't be any problems with the module loader.... Maybe you are being tripped up by the new SuSE boot concept introduced in 6.3? If there are any modules you want loaded at bootup, you can edit /etc/rc.config to add the module name to the variable INITRD_MODULES (I think - I don't have 6.3 myself ;-) ). After that run mk_initrd and all should be fine.
