In /dev you have a couple of sound character devs with major number 14. Now you write an alias for it into your /etc/modules.conf: alias char-major-14 soundcore Example: you have your ipv6 over ipv4 compiled as a module. Your protocol family 41 requires ipv6 to be loaded. Therefore say: alias net-pf-41 ipv6 Regards, Thunder -- ship is leaving right on time | Thunder from the hill at ngforever empty harbour, wave goodbye | evacuation of the isle | free inhabitant not directly caveman's paintings drowning | belonging anywhere -- Kernelnewbies: Help each other learn about the Linux kernel.
