But it does not run modprobe. To actually load the module at boot time, you have to call modprobe from some init script. Most distros do this for all modules mentioned in some file, possibly called /etc/modules (that's for Debian, so it may be called different somewhere else). ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Jan 'Bulb' Hudec <bulb@ucw.cz> -- Kernelnewbies: Help each other learn about the Linux kernel.
