I have to log in then run sudo udevadm trigger ( I'm doing it twice, once with --type=devices then subsystems ) to get all my modules loaded, then sudo /etc/rc.d/net-profiles start to get my network up. Moving the nouveau blacklist and sound.conf to /lib/modprobe.d took care of not loading the the nouveau modules and finding my sound card. It was probably the wrong move, but I tried putting udevadm trigger --type=xxx in my rc.local with no success. Shows I still don't get all the interactions with rc.local.
