Hi,

Thanks,

Hi,

so do I put line : modprobe module

in /etc/modprobe.local.conf (I was interested in automatic way of loading modules) ?

Regards,

Robert.

Hi,

I'm reading man modprobe.conf and I must be braindead not to see and kindly ask for short explanation:

There is alias, install, options and remove commands. But what is command to load plain module without alias ? I've read it but couldn't find any info on how to load module....

Also what are counterparts for post-install and pre-remove from modules.conf ?

Regards,

Robert.

Have you su'ed to root before issuing the modprobe command? It will fail for the non-root user. Mike

install /bin/true should load the module . as to your other questions, I dont know.. There was a thread recently about the subject of what to put into the modprobe.conf after SuSE9.1, but I havent found it. RA

I may not have got the point, but you have a categorized list of available modules in /lib/modules/<your-kernel-version>/kernel/ after you find the correct module, test it with modproble and then edit file /etc/sysconfig/kernel, variable MODULES_LOADED_ON_BOOT Every other atempt to fight against modprobe.conf, modules.conf, etc was futile (in my SuSE 9.0 - others distros worked fine)
